Description of πŸ› οΈ Fowler 52-432-444-0 52-432-444 Machinist Hardened Steel Square Set, 2", 4", and 6" Blade Size - High-Quality Precision Tools for Engineers and Machinists

Made of hardened steel, these economy squares have true right angles both inside and outside. Beams and blades ground and lapped for straightness and parallelism. Length of hardened blade is measured from inner edge of beam to end of blades. Beam grooved at inner corner for clearance of burrs and dirt. Squareness of the blade edge to the working face of the stock is Β± 0.0006" for 2" model, and Β± 0.0008" for 4" and 6" models.

Not Square - Measuring and Marking Tools

I chose this set based on "you get what you pay for". Not true in this case. A simple comparison of the squares in the set revealed unacceptable deviations of up to 1/32" by 6".

Pros
  • Grooved Inner Corner Bar for deburring and debris
Cons
  • Flimsy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good squares, very bad body design

I think the squares are accurate. I took off one star because of the case. I always appreciate storage boxes with any product I buy, but this case can damage the squares. The latch is actually useless, so there's a good chance the case will pop open and all three squares will fall to the ground. I would give 5 stars if the company put a little effort into developing a sufficient case locking mechanism.

Pros
  • Hardened blade length measured from the inside edge of the bar to the end of the blades
Cons
  • Some errors

Good tools and customer care but very flimsy, low quality wooden box.

It comes in a wooden box, not a blue plastic box. They haven't used a plastic case in years. The GOOD This kit has large manufacturing tolerances so I was willing to pay the extra money. The squares themselves are very good and come in oiled bags to keep them from rusting. Also, the customer support is fantastic and everyone at this company is very nice and helpful. You can pick up the phone and contact someone right away. And if you leave a message, you will be called back immediately. POOR…

Pros
  • Made from hardened steel, economy angles have right angles inside and out
Cons
  • A bit of detail
