Veritas Precision Square

The Imperial square is graduated in 32nds on the 3" leg and 16ths on the 6" leg, while the metric version uses half-millimetre and millimetre graduations on its 8cm and 15cm legs. Choose whichever matches the measurement system you already use in your shop to avoid conversion errors when transferring layout marks.

This precision square holds accuracy to within 0.001" per inch of length, comparable to an engineer's square, thanks to grinding on all four edges.

Yes, the chrome-plated legs are finished so you can mark directly on them with a pencil without the surface resisting the lead.

The relieved interior corner keeps the square registered flat against the workpiece even when sawdust or a scribed line sits right at the joint, so your reading stays accurate.

Yes, both versions are compact enough to carry in an apron pocket or tool tray for quick reference at the bench.
