SquareMate

The SquareMate is rather simple in design, but has a lot of possibilities for measuring, marking, scribing, holding, positioning, and other layout tasks.  SquareMate can also break the rules of being square a bit and can be used to make (dare I say it) circles!  Originally designed for carpenters’ squares to be placed flatly together and used like a sliding caliper (to measure round or irregular shapes), the SquareMate has found much more function in the real world.

These are the basic components of the SquareMate.  It’s comprised of a block made from ABS/polycarbonate alloy (3″x3″x1 1/8″) with a rectangular opening running through the center (measuring 2 1/8″x3/8″).  The nylon screws are used to secure the rule/wood intersecting the tools, and the metal screws are used to create pivot points or attach SquareMate’s together.

This is a view of the SquareMate with the nylon screws engaged.

The Squaremate is new to the market and even I benefited from the helpful hand-out provided by the manufacturer/inventor.  A unique one for sure was the stop on a miter/chop saw.  With some creativity the SquareMate could be used as a tablesaw blade height ruler, or fence distance ruler.  It can be used to make arcs/circles, or even draw parallel lines serving as a “T” square.

I’ve yet to use the SquareMate enough to offer a solid opinion … however, I wanted to get this post up asap so that others can take advantage of it.  MORE WILL BE ADDED TO THIS REVIEW.  THE SQUAREMATE IS CAPABLE OF MUCH MORE, NOW I JUST NEED TO FIND THE TIME TO TRY EVERYTHING OUT!
