Woodpeckers 4 Inch T-Square with Scribing Guides

Woodpeckers was established in 1988, and its focus has always been on woodworking tools. Starting with a few routers, the company has grown into a full-fledged manufacturer of router lifts, router fences, measuring & layout tools, and many useful clamping accessories. Woodpeckers takes pride in the fact that its tools are truly made in the U.S.A.

Whether you have 40 years of woodworking experience or 40 hours, those tiny lines on rules and tapes can be difficult to see and even more difficult to transfer accurately to your work. Woodpeckers Saddle T-Squares improve your layout accuracy with three unique features: a series of holes to guide your pencil, an edge that wraps around your work, and a high-contrast laser-engraved scale.

The first thing people notice about the Saddle T-Squares is the array of holes perforating the center of the blade. The holes are perfectly spaced 1/32" apart and are sized just right for the tip of a mechanical pencil. Laying down a line parallel to the edge of your stock is as simple as finding the hole you want, dropping in a pencil, and sliding the Saddle T along the edge.

Instead of struggling to re-align a square to transfer a mark from the face to the edge, with the Saddle T-Square, you can do it in one fluid motion. The 3/4" deep reference edge is machined perfectly in line with the scale edge.

When you do need the scale, you'll never find one easier to read than the scale on the Saddle T-Square. The aluminum body is anodized in the familiar "Woodpeckers Red," and the laser-engraved scale is bright white. It's much easier to see than most other rules, even in poor lighting conditions. The edges are also beveled 30 degrees, putting the calibrations right down on top of your work and eliminating parallax viewing error.

Woodpeckers Saddle T-Squares are milled from one solid block of aircraft-grade aluminum on the company's state-of-the-art CNC milling centers. Every edge is chamfered, making the tool comfortable to work with and easy to hold. Even the tiny pencil holes have beveled edges to guide your pencil tip in place. The red anodized surface not only looks great, but it also reduces friction with your work.

The Saddle T-Squares are available in 4", 6", 8", and 12" lengths, as well as metric equivalents. Each size is available individually, or you can cover all your layout needs with a full set. The set includes all four sizes, in your choice of inch or metric scales, and your choice of a Woodpeckers molded case, a Systainer, or the brand new wall-mountable Saddle-T Rack-it.

Like all Woodpeckers products, the Saddle T-Squares are precisely machined and carefully inspected in the company's Strongsville, Ohio, factory.
