Starrett High-Accuracy Combination Squares
Replace your try square, miter square, depth gauge, height gauge, center-point finder, and level. The blade on these squares meets Fed. Spec. GGG-R-791H, which establishes uniform standards for accuracy, graduations, and size. Blades are labeled with numeric increments that are less than 1" for quick reading. All have wear-resistant etched markings.
Square head checks 90° angles. Center head identifies the center on pipes, rods, and shafts. Protractor head measures angles.
Satin-chrome blade finish is corrosion resistant and reduces glare.

Heavy Duty Combination Squares
Built for welding and other heavy duty fabricating jobs, these squares have an extra-wide head and a large thumbwheel, so they’re easy to adjust and hold while wearing gloves. They combine the functionality of a try square, miter square, depth gauge, marking gauge, 90° level, and ruler in one tool. Add a clamp to the extra-wide head or use the included leveling tabs to hold material while welding. The tabs can also be used to set workpieces level to one another before fabricating. The fully recessed blade makes it easy to measure around obstacles.
Squares with a cast iron head are durable and resist both scratches and dents. However, they’re more prone to corrosion than squares with zinc heads.

Welding Squares
Position your workpieces at the correct angle prior to welding. These squares have an extra-wide head, so you can clamp them in place.
2-axes squares set workpieces at a 45° or 90° angle. All have leveling tabs to ensure workpieces are aligned with one another. Those with joint access cutouts make it easier to reach joints, such as when welding and gluing.
3-axes squares set workpieces at a 90° angle along 3 axes at the same time.
Cast iron squares are scratch- and dent-resistant for durability. However, they are more susceptible to corrosion than aluminum.

Easy-to-Machine Gray Cast Iron Sheets and Bars
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Rockwell C20 (Hard)
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Max. Hardness After Heat Treatment: Rockwell C50
- Specifications Met: ASTM A247
Gray cast iron machines faster with less wear on cutting tools than most types of steel. It also absorbs vibration, so finished parts run quieter than those made of steel. It's often fabricated into gears, pulleys, and bushings.
