Shinwa medium Japanese carpenters square with deeply etched metric full mm graduations inside and outside on both faces.

Made using hard chrome plated stainless steel hardened to Hv320 for the perfect balance of stability and springiness and no worries about rusty fingermarks.

Japanese carpenters squares are flat, they are used in the same way as a framing square, with one leg hung over an edge with its face acting as a stock.

Adding a 90/45 degree stopper improves on the versatility of Shinwa's Japanese carpenters square: you can use it for marking parallel to an edge or at 45 degrees, as a caliper, or turn the stopper the other way around and use it as a height gauge.

Shinwa Carpenter's Square Stopper - Metal - 20mm to suit this square is not included and is sold separately.

• Squareness less than 0.1mm/100mm
