How much do you know about a Try Square?

A Try Square is special purpose square in wood- and metalworking used to mark or measure material. The name ‘try square’ comes from the concepts of ‘trying a surface’ (to check a surface’s straightness or correspondence to an adjacent surface) and ‘square’ (a 90°, or right, angle).Try squares generally consist of two parts. The ‘blade’ is the longer portion, usually made of metal. The ‘handle’ (or ‘stock’) is usually made of wood, plastic or metal. Try Squares feature blades with hash marks for measuring short distances.

Try Square

The square ruler is mainly used for the inspection and scribing of the right angle of the workpiece. When installing and adjusting the equipment, check the perpendicularity of the relevant surface of the part or component. Also used for measuring tools, instruments, machine tools. Co-built adjustment and identification of workpieces, such as verifying the verticality of the guide rail movement of the instrument, and detecting the verticality error of the mutual position of the workpieces.Square ruler specifications are: 750 × 40, 1000 × 50, 1200 × 50, 1500 × 60, 2000 × 80, 2500 × 80, 3000 × 100, 3500 × 100, 4000 × 100, etc., square ruler, square ruler and special The flat ruler is used for machine tool guide rails, workbench precision inspection, geometric accuracy measurement, precision component measurement, scraping process processing, etc., and is the benchmark for precision measurement.

How to Use a Try Square?

Place the try square blade across the material you want to test or mark. The thicker part of the handle should extend over the edge of the surface, allowing the blade to lie flat across the surface.

Hold the handle against the edge of the material. The blade is now positioned at a 90° angle compared to the edge.

Find where you want to mark the material by adjusting the blade. Using the blade’s edge, draw a line across the material. To check the board’s square, align the blade with the end of the material. Make sure the corner of the material lines up with the corner of the try square. If there’s a gap between the try square and the material, the material isn’t square.
