Swanson Tool Co SVV150 9 inch Savage T-bevel with Stainless Steel Rule, Inches/Metric Marks, Comfort Grip Handle, Secure Metal Knob

These layout squares are harder o find then ever. Grab them while you can. Good quality and it was square!

Excellent woodworking tool.

This review is for the Swanson TS149 9 inch Sliding T-Bevel with Brass-Bound Hardwood. This would have been a 5 star rating if the manufacturer improved final finishing. Metal edges were very sharp and could scratch you or your project. I had to spend some time carefully sanding the edges to dull them down and make them flush with wood where necessary. Otherwise, it's a beautiful tool and will last a lifetime. Great for any woodworker and will last for generations.

I received mine today. The wood looked dried out and was rough. I took some 00 Steel Wool and Johnson's Paste Wax. I first lightly sanded the wood with the steel wool. It was much smoother, actually silky smooth. I then waxed the wood with the paste wax and rubbed it off. The wood then had a much richer color and felt better in the hand. The steel wool did a great job. It didn't take much wood off the handle. You have to be careful you don't ruin the parallel sides which could destroy the accuracy of the tool. Here is a photo of the finished result.

You can spend a lot more money- but this one will do the job.

Love it

This is a well-made try square with a sturdy hardwood handle and precise markings. The blade is straight and holds its accuracy, making it great for marking and checking 90-degree angles. A must-have tool for anyone doing fine woodworking or cabinet work.

I was really looking forward to a sliding bevel that did not have the wonky wing nut that prevents flipping the tool. This looked great but the locking mechanism is not useful at all. I could not hold the angle, it easily moves. I am returning this....
