- A great asset to my shop.
- I have no way to test this tool except to use it to calibrate my tools and if the woodworking job comes out perfect then I know this tool was dead on for what I use it for. I have 4 Incra guaranteed squares(5" square, 5" 45 degree, 7" square, and 7" 45 degree) and absolutely use them religiously to calibrate all my tools (table saw, jointer, planer, miter saw, band saw, drill press, circular saw, router table, etc.). While they are expensive I learned in an engineering class that you have to pay more for better tolerances and the expense here is well worth it over a cheap square. Yet there are more expensive squares out there and the Incras are "guaranteed" so if they are not perfect they will make it perfect. If you purchase these I don't see how you will be disappointed as they are one of the best asset you can buy for quality work.

- 45 degrees yes, but not also 90 degrees as advertis
- I've got both the 45 and 90. This one is a great 45 degree tool and performs as well as the 90 degree model.
It is advertised as also being a 90 square, standing on it's head (see picture is ad for detail), but mine is way off 90 compared to my 90 degree which I have verified as being square.
I know I bought it for 45 degrees, but it's very pricey and this was a let down from Incra. - 2007-08-31, 0 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Incra Precision
- Solid, precise, a bit spendy, but worth it. I have this one and the 90 deg. 7" model. This one is rather large to keep in a shop apron, but is excellent for setting up machines which is the main reason I purchased it. Get the pair. Set up your machines to be dead on. You wallet will soon recover and life in the shop will be good.

- Do I need to spend $50 for this ?
- I am not sure why this is so expensive but I would recommend looking for cheaper options than this unless you are a machinist and not a woodworker.
I found cheaper option from glad stone tools , which is equally accurate but way cheaper.
Avoid this one unless you want scintific accurary , which is 'Over exacerated' when it comes to woodworking !!. - 2006-04-10, 1 of 12 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great, just great!
- Look at where the red part meets the gold, there's a lip there. This lip lets you rest the red part over the edge of a board and it won't tip over or move; it's a great feature. Because this tool is so accurate; I don't keep it in my apron, which means I don't use it a lot. However, I mainly bought it to keep my tools aligned, which it does perfectly. If you can get over the outragous price, you'll love it, along with their regular square too. Incra is hard to beat when it comes to precision instruments, and they've done a fine job here.
