    Position your workpieces at the correct angle prior to welding. These squares have an extra-wide head, so you can clamp them in place.
    Joint Access Cutouts—Squares with joint access cutouts make it easier to reach joints, such as when welding and gluing.
    Locator Holes—Those with locator holes help you align your workpiece on a welding grid. They have 5/8" locating holes on 2" centers to fit into standard fixture table configurations.
    Leveling Tabs—Leveling tabs are for aligning workpieces with one another.
    Aluminum—Aluminum squares are lightweight and corrosion resistant.
    Cast Iron—Cast iron squares are durable and difficult to dent or scratch. They resist weld spatter, but they’re more likely to corrode than aluminum.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Black-oxide steel squares are stronger than aluminum and more corrosion resistant than cast iron.

    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.

    Fixture Columns

    Clamp multiple parts or fixtures to these columns to speed up your machining process. Also known as tombstones, they have multiple faces for building dense, efficient setups. Each face is precision-machined for accurate positioning. Made from cast iron, these columns are rigid enough to limit vibration and stabilize your workpieces during machining.

    Blank columns can be customized to fit your application. Machine them with your own holes, T-slots, or other mounting surfaces.
    Square—Square columns have four equal faces for balanced machining on each side.
    Rectangle—Rectangle columns have two wide faces for larger setups and two narrow faces for smaller ones. The narrow faces can also help reduce tool interference.
    Cross—Cross columns have four equal faces, similar to square columns, but cutouts at each corner give you more tool clearance.

    Grid columns have industry-standard hole patterns. The holes are lined with a precision bushing and a threaded insert to help locate fasteners, so you can clamp parts accurately and securely. Both are hardened to resist wear. These columns also come with a plastic chip plug for each hole—plug unused holes to keep debris from clogging them or causing damage.
    Square—Square columns have four equal faces for balanced machining on each side.
    Rectangle—Rectangle columns have two wide faces for larger setups and two narrow faces for smaller ones. The narrow faces can also help reduce tool interference.
    Cross—Cross columns have four equal faces, similar to square columns, but cutouts at each corner give you more tool clearance.
