NEW Combo Square Has UNMATCHED Features For Woodworking | Deep Dive 

Still in the design phase but hopefully soon.

Also waiting for metric. Do you ship to europe?

@@WoodpeckersLLC what does soon mean?

@@chris770 about 5-6 weeks from today.

@@chris770 To be honest I am not sure the exact time frame but we are working on the design and when we have it then we will introduce it. I am sorry you will need to wait a bit longer

We are working on that!!

@@WoodpeckersLLC Please do a metric version of the new mini combo square! I understand these tools are American-made, and probably primarily catering to the American market, but anytime I see a woodpeckers tool available in imperial only, it's a dealbreaker for me and I turn to Starrett or something else I know I can rely on. I care about precision, and I want my tools to have some absolute physical basis (hence the SI units / metric system, which is calibrated in reference to the speed/wavelength of light in a vacuum).

There is one in the works.

@@WoodpeckersLLC You just made my day.

@@WoodpeckersLLC Please consider to make these available overseas (germany asap). i would even pay for oversea shipment.

@@WoodpeckersLLC yeah right. You had 9 month to deliver and failed 😞 “we’re locked down due to COVID” When you give a delivery date you should keep it. Period. No excuses.

@@WoodpeckersLLC Really? I emailed to ask and was just told flat out no - Not "we have one in the works", no timeframe, just no. no to metric is what I got. Soo I went and ordered another brand. Is metric actually coming? Do you have a wait list or something I'm not going to wait or keep checking if all i'm told is no but if you give some sort of time frame... I might just.

It's a beautifully made tool, but I can't justify the large price tag.

Starting at $156US and ending at over $600US. Not in this lifetime.

I would have made this myself if only I could do it without moving the decimal to the right in the price

I just placed an order for the 6" combo square. $109 and worth every penny. Gotta wait 4 months but so what.

These squares are precision quality tools that will be in the hands of your great great grandchildren long after your sun sets. I purchased this set and the mini set as I can foresee the use of every one. Thanx Woodpeckers !

Glad you do...I took a lot of criticism around the original publication for saying I'm "Scotch" instead of "Scottish". "Scotch is a whiskey" I was told over and over again. Apparently, my father and his family didn't know the difference...but they were a couple generations removed from the "old country".

@@WoodpeckersLLC I have heard that some people from Scotland really care about saying one way and not the other. I have also read that people back home dont care. I say "fight away" because, well, from my name ... we are black Irish ... and supporters of a Free Ireland. ;)

I wish their shipping charges were not so high!

@@flyingdiscproductions - ya but I can only imagine in what shape the tool would be in if cost was less or if it is an insurance fee at there end incase part or tool is damaged by shipping folks. Do you know what the reason for high cost is by any chance?

@@nobodyisprfct USPS has delivered many items in perfect shape. And if woodpecker business people care or were savvy enuf - UPS and FedEx have special rates for special companies.

@@patrickdonegan9559 that would be cool

We are working on a metric version.

Can order a 6” blade as an add on or get the mini version of the combo square which comes with a 6” blade standard

Judging by the

We are working on a metric version.

Will you buy it then? Yeah I thought not. 😜

@@BlackSwan912 none of your business

@@michaelkaye4998 point made

same view out of my shop window.

Me too

We are working on a metric version.

@@WoodpeckersLLC Yes! Thank you!

Only the US and miyamat uses currently not the metric system.

There is one in the works!!

Sounds just like what I've experienced. The fit of the indexing pin is pretty snug. Takes just a little wiggle to get the spring to pop it out.

Yes they are

I agree. It forces you to buy tools that you maybe don't need for fear that if you need it in the future it won't be available. That's not a good business model. Make high quality useful tools and buyers will make you rich and successful.

We understand, that’s why we are converting many of our OneTIME Tools to permanent products - just like our Combo Squares.

@@WoodpeckersLLC The problem is that Banggood knock-offs persist after your OneTIME offers expire - e.g. router template corners - so when/if you do a rerun it is too late.

Combination square is more versatile.

@@WoodpeckersLLC thank you so much for the reply. I not only Love your tools, but your customer service and knowledge is just as impressive.

I use my Great Grandfather's combo square, as accurate today as when I first picked it up as a kid.

Yes. Email me your information and I’ll send you a metal racket. JudyS@woodpeck.com

Adam, the combination squares are built to the same standard as our fixed blade squares, which is .0085 degrees, or .001" per foot. Since it is adjustable, we do not offer the same lifetime guarantee of accuracy that we offer with the fixed blade squares, but you can rest assured, they start life at the same point. Yes, the 6" blade fits in the combination square head that comes with a 12" blade. 3 blades, 2 heads, everything fits.

We are currently working I. The design for a metric version. Right now if you are looking at the mini version we do not have a metric version and right now there won’t be a metric version in mini because right the design just doesn’t work. But we keep trying. www.woodpeck.com/in-dexable-combination-double-squares.html

@@WoodpeckersLLC Thanks for the response! Looking at the standard combo. With globalization more and more is metric but it’s still nice to have the imperial for reference and legacy applications. If the edge has two sets of notches, one side imperial one side metric, you’ve got a clear top of the line winner.

These are the Indexible combination and double squares. These are a permanent product. www.woodpeck.com/in-dexable-combination-double-squares.html

Thanks for the update, Michael.

They did, I just placed an order. It won't ship until June 30 but for me working in the field this is a must have. My Starrett is going into a drawer.

We are in the design phase for the metric version. Hope to shop them soon.

@@WoodpeckersLLC I appreciate that. Thanks

The anodizing.

​@@jefffarris4101Jeff, I know that Type III anodic coatings are hard, assuming that is what you are using. But even that level of coating cannot stand up over time to being worn against stainless steel, especially dry. Is there a way machined into the head/body (like a conventional square) for the blade to ride on that could be honed/filed to re-square the blade if need be?

@@toolchuck if you ever need that on a Woodpeckers tool, I’ll buy it off of you. 😀

@@BlackSwan912 I have Woodpecker tools, they are well made for sure. But no one or no company is perfect. I have a tool I bought from them, quite recently actually and it is not a square or a measuring device, which is their mainstay. Upon receiving it I immediately found a design issue that could make it useless to many who bought it. I contacted them, shared photos etc. In about five days I had a re-machined part in hand that corrected the issue. I was told these corrections were made to the production run which was still in progress. This is quite a testament to their support I must say. By the way, it is one damn sweet tool, and you could not pry out of my hands if you tried! So, yes, I will sell you the first one they sent me, got $150??? And this also goes to the point of many claiming that Woodpecker’s tools are just overpriced eye candy and not everyday tools. If a steel way (which Starrett squares use and last a lifetime+) were inset into the body for the blade to ride on it would have addressed any wear issues and would also have allowed for re-squaring as any square that is actually used will eventually need. As it is now, once the body wears, and sooner or later it will, it becomes useless, well as a square anyways.

Ok thank you

Good point, Bob. I would also like to see a spirit / bubble level incorporated into the design. I like the noted enhancements, but why abandon what might be considered other "standard features" of other combo squares like the scripe and bubble level?

Cuz he's evil.

That's what she said

@@draztiqmeshaz6226 haha yes.

Yes you can!

It won't be available 'til 04/01/2021...as per Woodpecker.

@@OehlJim Yeah wish it was sooner..thank you

Yes, it is.

We have made these in-dexible versions a new permanent product.

Home Depot has everything you need to get started.

We are working on that!

@@WoodpeckersLLC " Scotch is the drink, Scottish are the people", and you are clearly neither.

Depends on how much you drink. Drink enough scotch and you become scotch by volume.

We are currently working in the metric version.

These are permanent product.

We can ship anywhere in the world. Contact our Customer Service department for a quote on shipping costs.

These are the Indexible combination and double squares. www.woodpeck.com/in-dexable-combination-double-squares.html

That's why we make a wide range of fixed blade squares, too. For the absolute best precision, a fixed blade is superior to an adjustable square. Adjustable squares are versatile. They can do a variety of jobs and do them with an acceptable degree of accuracy. We did not -- nor would we -- say that these combination squares more accurate than our fixed squares.

@@WoodpeckersLLC cool. I already own 2 of your fixed squares...use them on every job. I like the idea of a combination square, but when I learned that my big box combi square was not accurate, it essentially went straight to the trash bin.

Work on the metric version.

Sorry about that. It's far enough back in my family tree that apparently the frugality is all that is left!

@@jefffarris4101 Good recovery. I caught that usage too.

I used to own a 16-32 drum sander by Performax. I thought it would solve problems but it just added to them. I wound up selling it and losing 50%. I guess if your needs are for sanding short pieces it would be okay. My needs for flat sanding raised panels for standard kitchen doors left resin build up on the abrasive creating burns, rippled finishes when working well and generally wasted lumber and time. Adjustments to this machine were constant. I think the drum heats up and expands changing the downward pressure. The more usage you need it for the more frustrating it became. Just my experience and opinions.

Plus, using these squares to sand down my stock is much, much, much, much more difficult. Still working at it though! (heheh)
