Great video mate just a quick observation the Milwaukee trim square the heels are different lengths because it’s for marking the sides or edges of boards keep up the good work 👍
Rusty. It appears that your large (bat wing) square has the same problem as mine (by a different manufacturer). If you mark a line for a stud, you can't choose the1-1/2 inch mark down the heal from the pivot point, to mark a cripple or double stud. The first mark is 1-3/4 inches. I've thought about grinding the opening out on mine and adding the1-1/2 inch mark. All of the smaller squares have the 1-1/2 mark. Is your British square in centimeters or inches? Finally, you mentioned that your Milwaukee's heel is not centered on the blade. Some are offset so you can use one side to mark the center of a 3/4 inch board with one lip and a 1/3 inch for marking a tenon with the other lip. Thanks for your post.
Just realized I typed in 1/3 inch in the last sentence of my post above. It should have been 1/3 of the edge width on a 3/4 inch board or 1/4 inch from either side to lay out a tenon. One day I'll learn to type and look at the screen at the same time. Thanks.
That Empire company is owned by TTI a Hong kong based chinese investment firm. Milwaukee is another TTI own company

My trig jig is in inches. Thanks for stopping by!

Why only in inches? Why not in centimeter?
Good question, it’s what we all use here I guess.
@@MrWKU123 90% of the world use centimeter. But i geuss you americans think that you are special
Why does everyone ask this question???
trig jig and Martinez offer both metric and imperial versions
