Lee Valley - Starrett Square - Which one is it?

[Philip Florio]

I want to take advantage of the free shipping offer from Lee Valley which expires tomorrow the 26th. I e-mailed them yesterday after hours but having heard back yet.

Does anyone know if the 12” Starrett combination square {#30N03.01} is the C33 line or the C11?

I *think* its the C11 line. The difference between C33 and C11 seems to be steel vs cast iron, and the Lee Valley page says its cast iron, which is the C11 series.

FWIW - Amazon has the C11 for $63. and change, free shipping over $25.00 and no tax.

(P.S. - you will like the Starrett be it cast or forged. I love mine!)

Okay, verified it with Lee Valley it's the C11. Is it worth spending another $20 for the C33?

YES! I have had gone three squares in the last 40 years, steel holds up much better then CIfrom mishandling or drops to floor. Tom
