Shinwa Carpenter's Square Stopper - ABS Resin - 20mm Reviews

5 Rating 1 Reviews
Read Workshop Heaven Reviews

A clever low cost accessory that greatly improves the versatility of Japanese carpenters squares.
Used in the same way as a combination square head for registering edges at 90 or 45 degrees, but because it's on a square rather than a rule, you can lay out lines parallel to the reference edge as well as ones perpendicular to it. The square stopper also acts like the movable jaw of a caliper for gauging the thicknesses of plates or boards and diameters of cylinders.
Torsion box design provides surprising rigidity.
Captive screw will never fall out and get lost.
Copper wear plate applies gentle constant pressure on the edge of the square but will not damage it.
Compatible with 2mm x 20mm flat section Shinwa carpenter's squares.
Dimensions: 75mm x 40mm x 14mm

Simple, cheap, and works exactly as it was designed to. In combination with my Shinwa square, it’s actually ended up taking the place of not only my Starrett combination square (which now feels clunky and over-engineered in comparison), but also my dial caliper (a lovely tool but, 99% of the time, way more accurate than I need).
