Large Tri square

[Quetech]

I am looking for a large Tri square for marking out wide boards.
Has anybody got any ideas who might make one.
I would prefer one in plastic or metal rather than
making one in wood.

Would the Trend T-Square be any use?

Cheers,

You don't say how wide a board you want to mark out but for sheet goods I usually mark out a 345 triangle and cut to the line. If I want to do a lot of marking, I will make a wooden T-square just for the job and usually junk it after as they don't stay square for very long.

For a very good manufactured square I have found the Johnson Drywall T-square to be as accurate as any and very versatile with its adjustable stock.

You can see one here http://www.books4geeks.com/inone/B00002N5OK.shtml

I bought mine here http://www.thanettools.com/tts.htm (they don't really have a website despite what it says but they do answer the phone). I guess you can get them in many places these days.

Mike,

How about one of these from Screwfix? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=17926&ts=77938

I have got one, and it is accurate enough for most jobs I want it for, and at £5.99 you can't really go wrong!

Regards

Gary

And if you fix a pair of these to the short leg it makes it even easier to use

I also have one of the stanley folding squares which is very useful
