Gentlemen and Ladies (I'm sure there are a few ladies amongst us)
While this is very basic and elementary, I haven't had much luck finding what I'm needing.
I'm currently working in a cabinet shop as Facilities/Maintenance Engineer and I have frequent need for a larger scale Try-Square than I have and can find easy access to.
The facility has numerous fences on saws, assembly tables, and other things in the shop where two surfaces must be perpendicular to at least 1/64". Yes, I know, we hold much tighter tolerances everyday, but this IS a cabinet shop.
All of the squares I have found have been T-Squares, folding (that sounds precise, accurate, AND repeatable), or costing several thousand dollars-I'm a Starrett man through and through, but my boss and management are not going to approve a ~$5000 square!
Ideally, I'd like three individual Try Squares with blade lengths of three, four, and six feet, in "Workshop Grade".
Any suggestions? If I put this in the wrong category, mods, feel free to move!
