WORKPRO Aluminum Alloy Carpenter Square and Zinc-Alloy Square Ruler Set - 7 in. Rafter Layout Tool and 12 in. Combination Square Combo

gREAT TOOLS

I am a part time woodworker. I produce wood products with my table saw, bandsaw and scroll saw. I use both items in ensuring accuracy with my marks.

Does very well.

I had been watching for a decent deal on a speed square for woodworking, and this set seemed to fit the bill based on the reviews, so I took a chance on it. My overall opinion is positive, and these are working well for me. I just have two minor complaints after using them for two weeks, thus 4 stars rather than 5, but I can easily recommend this set for woodworking.Complaint #1: the impressions made to facilitate the markings and numbers on the speed square were made in such a way that they left small ripples along the edge (see pic), not big enough to significantly affect the accuracy of the lines being drawn, but still annoying. (The angle of the pic actually makes it look worse than it is, sorry about that.)Complaint #2: The inch markings on the combination square are not as easy to read as they could be. They used short lines for 32nds, slightly longer for 16ths, and slightly longer again for 8ths, all of which is good, but they left all of the 8ths, quarters, and halves the same length, which requires extra time to ensure the right mark is being used. The mm side is fine, with small marks for each mm, and slightly higher marks for each five and ten.Accuracy: I'm using these for woodworking, not metal machining, so I only performed a rudimentary test to verify accuracy: drawing parallel lines using the square in both orientations along a straight edge. As you can see in the pic, they're pretty square. When I nested the speed square into the combination square, I could see a small gap, so I measured the distance between the lines at both ends the best I could with a calipers, and it appears that the speed square is out a few thousandths of an inch over its length, but that's not an issue for woodworking. The combination square is dead on.

This is a great set, sturdy and functional. I expect to never have to replace it. Excellent looks as well.

Exactly what I needed.

I have several different products from WorkPro in my shop that I use every day. The quality is great and these squares are perfect. I have several different sizes and they are all perfect.

Seems to be a well made product
