FAQs

What is the maximum measuring length?

The maximum measuring length of this T-square is 120cm (approximately 47 inches).

Can I use this for marking angles other than 90 degrees?

Yes, the T-square features etched angle markings along the head, allowing for precise marking of various angles.

How do I ensure the T-square is perfectly square?

To ensure a perfect 90-degree angle, firmly press the head of the T-square against the edge of your material. The rigid construction and locking mechanism are designed for this precision.

Is the blade reversible for marking on both sides?

Yes, the blade is double-edged and designed for marking on both sides, offering flexibility in use.

What materials is this T-square suitable for?

It is suitable for a wide range of materials including wood, plastic, and soft metals. It performs best on flat, stable surfaces.

How is this T-square stored?

The T-square folds for convenient storage and transport, making it easy to keep in toolboxes or workshops with limited space.

What is the benefit of the end cap ledge?

The unique end cap ledge provides additional balance and stability when the T-square is placed against a surface, contributing to more accurate measurements and markings.

Troubleshooting

Blade slips after tightening screw lock

Ensure the screw lock is tightened sufficiently and that there is no debris hindering its grip on the blade. Clean the contact points if necessary.

Measurements seem inaccurate

Verify the T-square head is seated flush against the edge of your material. Check that the blade is clean and free from any obstructions. Ensure the screw lock is firmly engaged.

Scale markings are difficult to read

Ensure adequate lighting. Clean the blade gently with a soft cloth. For very worn markings, consider using a fine-tip permanent marker to enhance visibility on specific measurement points, though this may affect precise readings.

T-square does not fold properly

Check for any obstructions preventing the head from sliding fully or the blade from collapsing. Gently clear any debris and ensure all parts move freely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Kapro 317 is ready to use out of the box. Simply extend the sliding head to your desired position along the 120cm blade. Ensure the screw lock is tightened firmly to secure the head. The T-square is designed to be used with its head against the edge of your material for perpendicular measurements.

Compatibility: This T-square is compatible with a wide range of materials including wood, plastic, and soft metals. It works best on flat, stable surfaces.

Care: To maintain accuracy and longevity:

  1. Clean the blade and head regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Ensure the screw lock mechanism is free of sawdust or obstructions.
  3. Store the T-square in a dry place, preferably in its folded position, to prevent damage to the blade or scale markings.
