Video Description

I am pretty sure there are many, many woodworkers out there who have done the same thing I did, which was to purchase an inexpensive combination square, and never gave a thought to the fact that it was NOT accurate. I just assumed that when I bought one, they would be right one correct, unfortunately, I learned the hard way this is not true and wasted a lot of good lumber, and tons of time thinking I was the one making mistakes when all along it was poor machine set-ups due to a junk combination square; OK so now that we know this, where can we still use an out-of-square tool and still be confident it is not going to be affecting our work, well as it turns out there are many places and things that we build that we can use the measuring feature of a combination square without relying on its inaccurate angles, like setting up table aprons and legs, drawing parallel lines, setting blade height on a table saw. using it for an adjustable table saw stop-set on a miter gauge and more. In this video, we'll look at the difference between a junk combo square compared to the best combination squares. We'll also look at tuning a combination square. *******More Videos on Woodworking Combination Squares****** Junk Woodworking Squares Can Ruin Your Projects / Checking Squares for Accuracy 5 Quick Measuring Hacks Part 1: https://youtu.be/TOve6oVPKVw 5 Quick Measuring Hacks Part 2: https://youtu.be/wqRVFL5wjhY Squares - Choosing and Using Them in the Workshop: https://youtu.be/fu6rCPzoj4w ********************************* #Square #Woodworkingtools #Handtools Read the Full Article on JUNK Combination Squares Here - https://bit.ly/3Z5K0PA *** Taylor Tools Affiliate Store - https://lddy.no/18zkg *** Amazon Affiliate Store - https://www.amazon.com/shop/woodworkweb *** Magswitch Affiliate Store - https://mag-tools.com/discount/COLIN_KNECHT *** Canadian Amazon Affiliate Store - https://bit.ly/38h1uib *** T-SHIRTS and Fun Stuff - https://teespring.com/stores/woodworkweb-2 **** Subscribe here - https://www.youtube.com/user/knecht105 ** Like me at Facebook: https://goo.gl/DLgvoa ** Visit the website: http://www.woodworkweb.com ** Follow on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/colinknecht ** Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/woodworkweb
