Crucible Bench Square

Crucible Bench Square

This lightweight and nimble Crucible Bench Square, made from CNC laser cut 1/4" Baltic birch, is a handy woodworking bench tool that's great for checking board edge squareness and for marking and checking joinery cuts & machine set ups at 90 & 45 degrees.

Based on an 18th-century square in Andre Roubos masterful work, "Book of Plates" (skillfully digested & made available to woodworkers by Christopher Schwarz), modern technology helps ensure this bench square has long-lived accuracy. The non-directional grain of the plywood blade gives it stability against wood movement and makes it stronger and more durable than thin, solid wood (with its short grain weakness). The laser cut blade is then joined to maple cheeks and machined for a flawless fit. A handy hang hole lets you store the square close at hand.

The square ships with no finish applied (common for wood bench tools). But if you desire, there's no harm in you applying a curing oil finish of your choosing. Dimensions of the square are 4" x 9" with a weight just under 3oz.
