Set squares required!!!
Posted by expressgraphics on 1 November 2004 at 11:52Hi,
does anyone know where I can get large set squares from? I’m looking for some that are 600mm or bigger, 45/45 and 30/60’s. They can be plastic or steel.
Cheers,

You can buy them at B&Q one that folds down it locks together to form the triangle.

Or, you could make one. Perspex; extruded would be lighter, glue a handle on. I s’pose you would have to be very accurate with your geometry to get the angles right but shouldn’t be too difficult. Depends what you want to use it for, really.

If its a one off job you could make them as Big G says
You could even make them out of hardboard or foamex
Templates could be made in a sign package quite easilyOut of interest what do you need them for?
Just being nosey 🙂Nik: You know a firm down South? I think Dundee is South of you isn’t it :lol1:

they’ve gone rusty! ( the rules, not the large square) 😉 -
