Woodpeckers Tools - If you are a woodworker with access to the internet, you are most likely aware of Woodpeckers and the incredibly high quality products they produce. If you are not, we highly encourage you to check them out. They are one of our favorite companies just due to the face that the tools and products that they make are something you want and most importantly (as your skills grow), NEED.

Woodpeckers make precision woodworking products that have very tight tolerances. They complete all their own machining, engraving, assembly, and packaging in house. As their websites states "our tools are truly made in the U.S.A."

Precision Framing Squares

Framing squares are using in many industries from construction to in the woodworking shop. These big box store framing squares get you close to 90 degrees, and that is fine for some jobs but for precision woodworking, it just doesn't cut it. When a woodworker needs something at 90 degrees, they need it at 90 degrees. Not 88 or 93 degrees. Dead on 90 degrees. Woodpeckers' Oversized Precision Framing Squares are exactly that. They are dead square within .001" or less for each foot of the blade length.

As mentioned previously, they are made from aircraft grade aluminum in house. Two pieces of precision machined aluminum create the cheeks of the handle. The cheeks are aligned with stainless steel dowel pins that ensure perfect alignment and unmatched rigidity. The blades are 1/4" thick and the handle is a full 3/4" thick.

They are then sent across town to get anodized with their Woodpeckers Red and to obtain their signature white lettering, they head back to Woodpeckers engraving department.

With a spectacular product ready to be shipped, they go an extra mile and offer a milled MDF case that has two acrylic discs to keep the framing squares in place. Very classy!

Two sizes:

18" x 12"

26" x 16"

*Metric options are available

You can purchase the two different size Precision Framing Squares together or separately.

What can be done with them?

Assembly - Assembling casework or anything that has a large 90 degree joint is a perfect application for these Precision Framing Squares from Woodpeckers. When doing fine woodworking or woodworking with tight tolerances, you need things to be exactly how you design them. 90 degree joints are no exception. They are great for aligning during assembly and checking for square when assembly is completed. You can use a smaller square but on large joints, the more your square touches that joint, the more accurate your checking will be.

Layout - Just like any other layout or marking tool, the geometry you create needs to be accurate. Using the Precision Framing Squares allows you to create large 90 degree layout lines and also use the included 1/16" scales (imperial models).

Cross cutting sheet goods - Cross cutting sheet goods is typically done with a track saw or a guide and a regular circular saw. The trickiest part about doing this is making sure the cut is perfect square to your plywood edge. Using the Precision Framing Square, you can easily place the square against you mark and slide your guide or track saw track against the frame and then clamp them down. You can now be assured that your cut will be perfectly square.

Tool setup - Quite often when setting up tools, it requires a 90 degree angle. A blade to a horizontal surface or a fence to a cutting guide. Specifically on the MFT3 by Festool, squaring up the fence to the track can be a bit tricky. The Precision Framing Square makes this operation a breeze. With the extra large, extremely precise tool, we are able to accurately align the fence and the cutting track to a perfect 90 degree angle.

Investment

Woodpeckers products are expensive and may not be for everyone, but you get what you pay for. Someone building a birdhouse for craft shows definitely doesn't need the extreme precision Woodpeckers' products offers. The precision that is afforded to the consumer is meant for the woodworker that needs and wants to be right on. Also, someone that has that desire but isn't getting the results, we would recommend you checking them out. The quality tools will help you bring your woodworking to the next level.
