During woodworking workshops, I often get asked which hand tools are worth buying when starting out in woodworking, and which marking tools I recommend\u2014including the square. In a previous post about marking tools, I discussed in detail how to work with a square \u2013 Marking Out \u2013 Basic Principles \u2013 Square and Knife – Bensari Workshop<\/a><\/p>

The topic of the square seems trivial at first\u2014it\u2019s just a simple tool used to mark a right angle. However, many squares fail to provide a true 90-degree angle. But let\u2019s start from the beginning.<\/p>

Combination Square \u2013 What Is It?<\/h2>

A woodworking combination square is used for marking and checking 90-degree angles during woodworking tasks. It consists of a ruler and a movable base or head.<\/p>

Why do we need a square or a right angle in woodworking? Many people treat right angles as the ultimate symbol of precision and quality. But measurement and geometry don\u2019t define quality in the humanistic sense. Whether a table is 25 inch or 24.8 inch in diameter doesn\u2019t impact its usability or beauty. The same applies to right angles. Many furniture pieces deviate slightly from perfect 90\u00b0\u2014and we don\u2019t mind. In my woodworking courses, I show collectible pieces I\u2019ve built where lippings slats join at an angle (definitely not a right angle \"\ud83d\ude0a\"), and no one finds that disturbing.<\/p>

We\u2019re more likely to notice when two parts are not parallel, which impacts visual harmony more than slight angular deviation. So why use a right angle?<\/p>

Right angles help us build reference lines that support clean and discreet joinery. But achieving a true right angle depends not only on the square, but also on the reference edge. And that edge isn’t always flat. That\u2019s key. We must position both the tool and reference surface correctly. See Figure 1.<\/p>

\"\"
Figure 1. Reference edge for determining 90\u00b0<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The difference between the top and bottom drawings comes from the reference edge: the top is straight, the bottom is curved. Even correctly marked right angle will diverge if the edge is not straight. Does it always matter? The honest answer is: \u201cit depends.\u201d Geometry is just a tool\u2014its purpose is defined by context. In my \u201cMortise and Tenon\u201d course, we build a cutting board with breadboard ends (Photo 2). A slight misalignment would hardly be noticeable. The reference edge just needs to be relatively straight.<\/p>

\"\"

Moreover, the parallelism of those lines doesn\u2019t matter for this construction.<\/p>

It\u2019s a different story when marking grooves for installing shelves in a cabinet (Figure 2). There, parallelism is critical. The reference edge should be planed to a flat surface, ideally for both sides, to avoid tension that could twist the shelves. Figure 2 shows two variants: A (correct), where two inner edges are planed and used to mark grooves\u2014resulting in parallel lines and a tension-free assembly. Variant B (incorrect) shows one vertical edge with a slight curve, causing the grooves to pull the construction out of square.<\/p>

Another example: creating a shoulder at a tenon. If the reference edge is curved, the shoulder may still wrap around the tenon, but it could result in either a visible gap (A) or a joint misaligned from square (B).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Understanding the value of right angles as a tool allows us to use them efficiently, avoiding errors and producing precise furniture or woodworking projects.<\/p>

How Should a Woodworking Square Be Built?<\/h2>

An ideal square should have a solid base to press firmly against the reference edge. That\u2019s non-negotiable. The blade length and base width depend on your work. A 12 inch square is standard and suitable for most shop tasks. Shorter squares are more convenient for small workpieces but less accurate. Longer ones (like 24 inch) give more control.<\/p>

There are also tiny squares with about 3\/16 inch -wide blades used for checking tight joints like dovetails or box joints. Such narrow blades fit in narrow spaces easily.<\/p>

I use three sizes: 6, 12 , and 24 inch. I rarely use the smallest one.<\/p>

How to Check if a Square Is Truly Square?<\/h2>

The simplest method is to draw two lines along a flat reference edge\u2014once with the square base on the left, once on the right. If the lines converge, as in Photo 3, the square is inaccurate.<\/p>

\"\"

Such a square is useless unless adjustable. Sadly, many new squares fail this test. Always check before buying. Some can be adjusted. In this article, I focus on the Stanley square, which I use. With combination squares, things are more optimistic\u2014some models like the Starrett are extremely precise and delivered perfectly square (though unadjustable). The downside? Price\u2014around 200$. A cheaper alternative is the Stanley version, ideally with a cast iron base and metal ruler (as I recommended here: https:\/\/www.bensariworkshop.com\/podstawowe-narzedzia-stolarskie-od-czego-zaczac\/<\/a>). It costs about 30$. Unfortunately, out of many I’ve tested, none were square. But it can be fixed.<\/p>

What Determines the Right Angle in a Square?<\/h2>

Let\u2019s start with the elements responsible. If you loosen the clamping screw and remove the ruler \u2013 see Photo 4 \u2013<\/p>

\"\"
Photo 4. Components of a Stanley combination square: ruler and base<\/figcaption><\/figure>

you\u2019ll see two pins in the groove that hold the ruler\u2014one before and one after the clamp screw (Photo 5).<\/p>

\"\"
Photo 5. Pins securing the ruler inside the base<\/figcaption><\/figure>

The angle depends on those pins. Identify which pin causes deviation. If the square shows an obtuse angle, file down the left pin (closer to the square base). If it shows an acute angle, file the one closer to the 45\u00b0 side. Use a flat needle file and secure the base in a vise (Photo 6).<\/p>

\"\"
Photo 6. Adjusting the square to restore 90\u00b0<\/figcaption><\/figure>

Test the square frequently during adjustment using the two-line method. File until the lines become parallel. This takes about 15 minutes. At the end, use a flat file to smooth the ruler edges and remove burrs. You\u2019ll now have a square as accurate as the Starrett.<\/p>

As with all tools, it\u2019s worth checking your square from time to time. Being conscious of the tool\u2019s condition ensures accurate furniture and joinery. If budget allows, the Starrett is an excellent choice\u2014it\u2019s the original design from the 19th century. But if your budget is tight, a well-tuned Stanley will serve you just as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
