Product Information

Full details

The Jakar 60cm T-Square is a versatile precision instrument designed for students, architects, engineers, and design hobbyists who require consistent accuracy in technical drawing and drafting projects. Its primary benefit is the guaranteed 90-degree angle alignment provided by the fixed stock design, though users should note that the 60cm length is optimized for standard-sized drafting boards and may not suit extra-large technical layouts.

FAQs

Is the Jakar 60cm T-Square suitable for cutting with a knife?

No, using a craft knife against the edge of the T-square can damage the material and compromise the precision of the straight edge.

Can I use this on a glass desk?

Yes, it can be used on any flat surface, but note that the T-square will not have a board edge to hook onto, making it harder to maintain perfect alignment.

What is the material of the T-square?

The T-square is designed with a durable construction intended for regular academic and professional use.

Does this tool work for left-handed users?

Yes, while standard usage is against the left edge, it is a symmetrical tool and can be used on either side depending on your desk setup.

How should I store the T-square to keep it straight?

Store it lying flat on a shelf or hanging vertically to prevent the blade from bending or warping under its own weight over time.

Troubleshooting

The T-Square feels unstable against the board edge.

Ensure that the board edge is perfectly straight and that the stock of the T-square is sitting flush against it without any debris trapped in the corner.

Markings appear difficult to read.

Clean the surface of the T-square with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated graphite dust or pencil smears.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-contrast markings for easy readability
  • Stable fixed stock design prevents accidental slippage
  • Lightweight build promotes comfort during long projects
  • Ideal for both academic and professional drafting environments

Cons

  • Fixed stock design is less portable than foldable models
  • 60cm length may be too short for large-format engineering plans
  • Requires proper care to prevent edge nicks or scratching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up your Jakar T-Square requires no assembly; it is ready for use immediately out of the packaging. It is fully compatible with most standard wooden or metal-edged drafting boards.

To ensure the longevity of your tool, avoid using sharp cutting blades against the plastic or metal edges, as this can create nicks that affect drawing accuracy. When not in use, store the T-Square lying flat or hanging vertically on a wall hook to prevent the blade from warping. Keep the surface free of ink or pencil dust by wiping it down with a dry, soft cloth after every session.
