Combination square uses

You're probably only using half your combination square. Here's what else I can do. Let's get after it. Obviously, you can check inside corners and outside corners for square. You can also mark 90s and 45s. But, how do you know that your square is actually square? Draw a line, flip your square, and draw another line. If these lines don't match up, something's off. Now, say that you need to line an inch in from the edge of your board. Set your measurement and lock it down. And just slide it along the edge of your board. You can even slide your ruler out and just use it by itself. But, what if you need to measure the depth? Put your head on the piece, push your ruler down, lock it in place. That depth is the same across this whole board. And that same trick works in reverse when you want to set the height of your saw. And now we know that the height of our saw blade is an inch. You can also use your combination square to make sure that your blade's square. It also works well for setting the depth on your router. And once you're ready to install whatever you're building, most combo squares also have a level. And remember this little thing right here? This is a scriber. It works great for marking lines when a pencil just won't cut it. Not bad for just one tool. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
