A Quick Look at Why Saddle Squares are Better
Standard measuring and marking tools are great for placing lines on just one surface. But when you need to transfer that line to the mating face of your stock, such as when laying out a tenon, it’s not as easy.
You must get as close as you can, but there’s still a chance that your pencil lines won’t perfectly match up.
Saddle squares neatly solve that problem. They wrap over 90° corners, and the edges of the squares exactly line up from side to top.
You can place the saddle square exactly where you need it and then draw a perfectly matched set of lines on both the top and sides without moving the square. It’s a simple solution to an age-old problem.
This JessEm set includes saddle squares for straight 90° cuts, 45° miters, as well as the four most common dovetail angles: the 1:6, 1:7, 1:8 and 14° sizes.
Made of stainless steel and precision laser cut, they’ll give you accuracy and repeatability for years to come.
Plus, they include an anti-skid surface on the back, so they’ll stay put while you’re drawing your lines.
