Frequently Asked Questions

Are Marshalltown squares suitable for fine woodworking?

Absolutely. Marshalltown squares are manufactured to precision tolerances that satisfy both construction trades and fine woodworking applications. Their accuracy and robust construction make them ideal for everything from rough carpentry to detailed joinery work.

How do I maintain my Marshalltown measuring tools?

Keep blades clean and dry after use, wiping off any moisture or debris. Store in a dry location and occasionally apply a light oil to metal surfaces. Avoid dropping squares as impacts can affect accuracy. Periodically check calibration against a known true edge.

What's the difference between a try square and a combination square?

A try square has a fixed 90-degree angle, ideal for checking square edges and marking perpendicular lines. A combination square features an adjustable blade that slides through the head, includes a spirit level, and can measure 45-degree angles as well, offering greater versatility for layout work.
