About this item
- SPECS - You will receive a 6-inch precision woodworking square. Accurate to within 0.001 inch along the full length of the tool. Made in the USA.
- BUILT WITH PRECISION - Our precision woodworking squares start the manufacturing process as a solid piece of very expensive, extremely stable, cast aluminum tool plate. The plate is then carefully machined in multiple, high RPM passes on our state-of-art CNC equipment. The result is a single-piece ruler and handle square. This manufacturing process insures accuracy to within .001 inch or less along the full length of the tool.
- STRENGTH & ACCURACY - Once we have a perfect square, we add two pieces of precision-machined aluminum to form the cheeks of the handle. These cheeks are fitted to the handle with two stainless steel dowel pins that ensure bulletproof rigidity and perfect alignment when pressed into their precision-machined holes. This kind of strength and accuracy simply cannot be matched by squares made using separate ruler and handle parts or punched-out on a stamping press.
- FEATURES GALORE - The inside edge of the of the square’s handle features a shoulder to allow it to lay flat on the work so you can accurately mark either edge of the rule. The thick base even makes it easy to stand the rule upright to check square on your table saw blade, jointer fence, band saw blade and other machinery setup operations.
- MORE FEATURES - With the square standing upright, checking casework parts for square is an effortless, hands-free operation. We even mill a notch at the inside corner of the square so you can “zero-out” your layout line all the way to the edge of your work. Easy to read measurement scales are laser etched in 1/16th increments on both sides of the ruler. Comes in a wall-mountable case as well.

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024
This square is a fair amount of money for such a simple tool, so it is probably not for the hobbyist. I needed dead-accurate 90 degree corners every time, but a hobbyist could probably get by with a less expensive brand.
When I received my square, the first thing I did was check the accuracy of the product. I did this by placing it against a known straightedge, and scribing a line on the inside of the blade. I then flipped the square over, and scribed another line parallel to my first line. The two lines were exactly parallel by my eye. I then measured the lines with calipers and they were dead-on parallel to one another. The fact that the lines were parallel proved to me that the square was in fact exactly 90 degrees.
There are many other characteristics I like about this square. For instance the "shelf" that runs along the inside of the body of the square is a welcome addition in my shop. This "shelf" allows the square to rest on the edge of a workpiece, and not tip over like most squares. Another lovely feature is the notch on the inside of the square where the blade meets the body. This notch allows you to get a pencil all the way down to the bottom corner, and therefore ensure accuracy. Another feature that I would not use but have actually found amazing is the accuracy of all the square's constituent pieces. The blade is exactly 1/4 inch thick, and the body is exactly 3/4 inch thick. This has proven handy when quickly wanting to check the thickness of stock. The last feature I enjoy is the anodized red finish. This finish is durable and very pleasing to the eyes, and feels nice in the hand.
The only issue that I have with the square is the fact that it is made out of aluminum. While this is plenty strong for woodworking needs, it does make me more wary of dropping the tool and damaging it. This issue, however, has all but resolved itself as I am not much more careful with the tool and therefore unlikely to drop it.
Overall, I would very much recommend this product to the non-hobbyist woodworker. The peace of mind it offers is unparalleled, and it is a pleasure to use.
I called woodpeck's customer service number and they said that they markup the price because of the "cost of doing business with Amazon". Interestingly enough, the customer service rep suggested that I return the unit through amazon and then re-order directly through the website.
Funny thing is that they'll still be stuck shipping costs on amazon if I do this (which I will) and have to fulfill another order. Worst case scenario for them if I return this and choose to NOT order a replacement, they'll have to pay 2nd day air shipping one way (when I got it) and shipping back to them (due to amazon return) and get no sale out of the deal.
I offered to even buy more stuff on their store directly and they can credit me the difference, but that was a no-go.
Makes no sense from a business bottom line perspective, but i guess CSR are there just to follow rules of the game, not maximize revenue.
