SERIES 845 | DIN875 GRADE 2
A Machinist Square with a Wide Base is a precision tool specifically designed for the needs of machinists,
metalworkers, and engineers who require accurate right-angle measurement and marking in their work. The wide
base adds stability and makes it particularly well-suited for use on large or heavy workpieces, providing a
reliable reference for ensuring squareness and alignment.
Made of hardened stainless steel
DIN875 Grade 2
Din 875 Grade 2, which is the normal standard for a decent workshop squares. A grade 2 square has always been

Definition
A machinist square or engineer’s square is the metalworkers’ equivalent of a try square. It consists of a steel
blade inserted and either welded or pinned into a heavier body at an angle of 90°. Usually a small notch is
present at the inside corner of the square. This prevents small particles from accumulating at the juncture and
affecting the square’s reading.
