Diagonal Gauge Set
Use the diagonal gauges to check for squareness and for parallels, when making cabinetry, drawers and boxes. Comparing diagonals is an important part of assessing the squareness of your work. A try square, even a big one, can be misleading because of its small sample size, and in my experience, the larger ones are ofter not very accurate. With this set of 3 overlapping diagonal gauges you can assess a diagonal or length from 200mm to 1500mm. My gauges can be set to an internal or external length
