Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Starrett squares more accurate than standard squares?

Starrett squares are manufactured to much tighter tolerances than standard squares, with precision-ground faces and edges. They're individually tested and often come with accuracy certificates. The superior materials and manufacturing processes ensure they maintain their accuracy even after heavy professional use.

Are Starrett combination squares worth the investment?

For professional tradesmen and serious DIYers, absolutely. A Starrett combination square will outlast multiple cheaper alternatives whilst maintaining accuracy. The versatility of having a square, mitre, level, depth gauge, and marking tool in one precision instrument makes it an invaluable workshop companion.

How should I care for my Starrett squares and bevels?

Keep precision faces clean and lightly oiled to prevent rust. Store carefully to avoid dropping or knocking against hard surfaces. Periodically check accuracy against a known reference, and avoid using as pry bars or hammers. With proper care, your Starrett tools will provide a lifetime of accurate service.
