Starrett Precision Measuring Tools Starrett Combination Squares

The Starrett name has always been associated with squares because our founder, Laroy Starrett, invented the combination square in 1877. The success of this tool led to the beginning of The L.S. Starrett Company in 1880. The combination square is one of the worlds most practical and versatile tool inventions - the basic tool for every builder and craftsman.

Starrett Combination Square Features:

  • As the name indicates, these tools can be used for many different purposes - a complete substitute for a whole set of common solid try squares, a 45 degree miter, a depth gage, a level, a plumb, and by withdrawing the blade it can also be used as a precision rule.
  • A choice of smooth-finished forged and hardened (longer wearing) steel square head and center head, or a cast iron square head and center head. All bearing surfaces are accurately ground.
  • A choice of stable cast iron protractors - reversible or non-reversible style.
  • Protractors are furnished as reversible, with shoulders on both sides of the blade, or non-reversible, with a single shoulder on one side of the blade only. All protractors also have a spirit level.

  • Protractor heads have revolving turrets with direct-reading double graduations, 0-180 degrees in opposite directions. This permits the direct reading of angles and supplementary angles.
  • Most square heads have a handy spirit level and a hardened scriber.
  • Square blades are machine divided, hardened and tempered.
  • Square blades and protractor heads come in a choice of regular or Starrett no-glare satin chrome finish.
  • A reversible lock bold allows the blade to be turned over or end-for-end, without removing the lock bold or nut. This ensures true alignment of the blade and heads.
  • Square blades feature easy-to-read, sharp graduations and aver available in many convenient sizes.
  • Separate parts and attachments available

Commonsense Tips for Using Squares and Center Heads:

  • First, make sure your square is clean and that is is located against a flat surface - burrs on metal or knots and bumps on wood will throw squares off.
  • Second, to scribe a line, the steel scriber can be used on any material, but usually on metal. A carpenters pencil is normally used on wood, but if finer lines are needed, a light cut with a utility knife may be used. This is also handy when scribing cross grain.
  • Third, when using a center head on a piece that may not be completely round, it is good practice to scribe more than two intersecting lines.
