Framing Squares, Chalk Lines, Plumb Bobs
On this page you find a range of large squares, mainly used by carpenters.
The HEDUE Alpha squares (Multi Marker) are available in tempered stainless spring steel or powder coated steel; they feature a very precise etched scale.
For those who prefer a classic tool, we offer the framing square with tapered legs, in mild (not stainless!) steel.
The STARRETT screw-on stair gage fixtures and the VERITAS fence turn any of the squares shown into accurate try squares!
Chalk Lines made by Starrett you find at the bottom of this page.
HEDUE Framing Square
The HEDUE framing square is made of stainless spring steel. The stainless steel is spotwelded at the corner (4 clean, flat-ground, spotwelds) and is has an unusual level of accuracy and quality for this type of tool. HEDUE's manufacturing standard for these squares is the right angle cannot be off more than 0.005 mm per centimeter of length. So for the 60 cm square, that works out to 0.3 mm, and for the 1 meter square it is 0.5 mm. The arms measure 35 mm by 1.2 mm, and 2.5 mm at the welded corner overlap.
The short arm of the square has marking holes spaced at 5 mm. The long arm features an easy-to-read scale both inside and outside. Click on the enlargement to have a closer look at the details.

VERITAS Flat Bob
Some concepts are embarrassingly obvious once you see them in practice. So it is with the Flat-Bob. The most common use of plumb bobs is next to a wall, yet round plumb bobs roll around endlessly, making it nearly impossible to get an accurate line. The Flat-Bob doesn't roll and, because it has a very low center of gravity, it stabilizes rapidly. Because it is thin, the point is easily visible from above, again not the case with a regular bob. The body design also makes accurate marking much easier. You can press it against the wall as you mark a line dead center through the body slot.
Whether you use this in construction, for plumbing cabinetry or for wallpaper jobs, it can easily pay for itself the first day. All brass fittings on a precision-molded nylon body. Example of use
85 mm (3-3/4 in.) long overall.
