DelVe Square with Rack-It Stainless Steel 6″

At first glance, the Stainless Steel DelVe Square® looks like a smaller version of the square almost every framing carpenter carries. Upon closer inspection, you’ll find features that make it ideal for every furniture and cabinetmaker. Whether you’re laying out hand-cut joinery or marking up stock for machining, the Stainless Steel DelVe Square® offers convenience and accuracy in a tool that’s small and light enough to keep with you all the time.

The most unique feature of the DelVe Square® is easy to overlook, but invaluable once you’ve found it. One side of the base is 1/4″ from the blade and the other is 3/8″. Mark from the 1/4″ side on both edges of 3/4″ stock for a perfectly centered mortise or tenon. Use the 3/8″ side to locate the center of 3/4″ stock for joinery layout or hardware installation. The 3/8″ side also makes it simple to mark the face and edge of stock at the same time at exactly the same point.

With a DelVe Square® in your pocket, you always have the most commonly needed set-up blocks at your fingertips.The blade is 1/8″ thick and the base is 3/4″ wide with steps milled into the base at 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″. Perfect for machinery set-up, joinery layout and other referencing chores.

Scales on the blades are engraved to an accuracy of ±0.004″ total accumulated error. To make accurate layout even easier, there are scribing guides milled every 1/8″ along the blade. Put your pencil in the right hole and slide the base along the edge of your stock for perfectly parallel lines. To lay out angles, the hypotenuse is engraved in 1° increments with 22-1/2° and 67-1/2° markings added for an octagonal layout. If you need a hole centered on 3/4″ stock, there’s a reference milled 3/8″ from the inside edge of the base and perfectly sized to work with self-centering drill bits.

Includes a wall-mountable Rack-It™ so your square is safely stored in plain sight and ready to work. The DelVe Square® is precisely machined and carefully inspected in Woodpecker’s Strongsville, Ohio, manufacturing facility.
