Anyone Know What This Is?
Hello Everyone. This is my first posting and I'd like to find out if anyone knows what this tool was used for. Some you old timers out there might know. I bought on EBay and it said it was an old adjustable tile measurer. The T square is adjustable and it has the number 627 on the square and the brass body. I've been in the building trade for 40 years and I've never seen one.

Sorry, I don't even know what an adjustable tile is.

The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.

Would it be for measuring the space between your tiling and the edge near the wall and then use it to mark the tile ready for cutting it to size?

On a more serious note, I have no idea what it is but welcome to the madhouse!You can never have enough planes, that is why Mr Stanley invented the 1/2s

I'd go with Sturdee, and say that it's for measuring the wall/end surface to a known position for making a cutting mark.
Cheers!

Reverend, what you have here is your typical 627, it came out after the 626, and just before the 628. Wow do these things bring back some old memories. Absolutely a wonderful piece of gear, haven't seen one for I don't knoe how long.
Best of luck with it, and I hope this has cleared up any confusion.Boring signature time again!

Yea I want one too now!
If only NASA had used this to stick the tiles down square on the front of the shuttle. If the tiles had been square then they wouldn't burn up in re entry.
Anyway It would have looked much more professional if the Astronaut had whipped one of these babies out of his space suit pocket instead of that dodgy $2 bunnings bargan bin hack saw with plastic handle he ended up using to repair it in his recent space walk.
Perhaps you should e-mail NASA, they never get back to me!

It does not look like it is for tile.
How about a marking guid for laying out wood. You can set the depth and slide it along while marking your lay out. I have been collecting tools for 40 years and have never seen one here in the states either.
