Product Information

Full details

The Beta 1670A Flanged Precision Square is a professional-grade measurement tool designed for machinists, metalworkers, and woodworkers who demand exacting accuracy in their workshop projects. Measuring 300mm x 180mm, this durable tool is engineered to provide reliable 90-degree alignment and marking for high-precision tasks, though its rigid construction and size make it less suitable for portable or tight-space applications where a smaller try-square might be preferred.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the Beta 1670A?

The Beta 1670A is constructed from high-quality hardened steel designed for longevity and wear resistance.

Is this square suitable for outdoor use?

While it can be used outdoors, it is best kept in a workshop environment to prevent moisture-related corrosion.

Can I use this for measuring depth?

No, this is a fixed precision square designed for 90-degree marking and alignment, not a depth gauge.

Does the flanged base provide enough weight for stability?

Yes, the flanged design is specifically intended to provide a stable, weighted base for steady vertical measurements.

Are there other sizes available in this product line?

Yes, for larger applications, the Beta 1670 series includes a 600mm x 300mm variant.

Troubleshooting

Square seems out of calibration

Verify against a known precision reference or granite surface plate; if damage is severe, professional recalibration or replacement is necessary.

Surface oxidation or light rust

Clean the surface with a fine-grit abrasive pad and apply a thin coat of tool oil to protect the metal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-accuracy measurement for professional projects
  • Stable flanged base for reliable vertical alignment
  • Solid, heavy-duty build quality
  • Versatile size for multiple workshop applications

Cons

  • Larger size may be cumbersome for micro-projects
  • Requires careful storage to maintain precision
  • Not intended for pocket carry

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly is required for the Beta 1670A. To maintain its accuracy, avoid dropping the square or using it as a prying tool, as impacts can compromise the 90-degree calibration. Store the square in a designated tool rack or drawer where it will not be knocked against other heavy hardened steel tools. Regularly wipe the surface with a light machine oil to prevent oxidation, especially if working in humid or metal-dust-heavy environments. Always verify the square against a known reference surface if it has suffered a significant impact.
