    Default L square modification

    Hi
    this is a 600x400mm L square which I find I'm using quite a bit

    it doesn't have a stop on one edge so extra care has to be taken when using against an open edge ie table edge etc

    I recently saw while browsing online, a straight edge that somehow clipped to one side creating a stop to use against the edge as a set square would

    now I cant find it anywhere, can anyone recall seeing this (maybe banggood or similar) or maybe there is a diy solution that works as well

    cheers
    Bryan

    G'day Bryan, if you do a search for "framing square fence" you'll get some. Veritas seem to be most prevalent.

    Hi Bryan. You could drill a couple of holes through the short arm and screw a timber fence to it, flush to the inside edge.
