Steelex D3383 Precision Square Tool for Accurate Measuring and Marking

SixTies Drummer: This is my 2nd STEELEX product purchase. Very satisfied with the accuracy and quality workmanship of the square as I had with my first purchase (BP Drill set). Be aware that the picture representation of the retail packaging was not what I received. In lieu..I did get a sturdy and dare say 'handy' hard paper box to store and protect the square for storage. This is not 'stainless' steel...but the carbon alloy has some heft and is very solid otherwise needs some protection from corrosion as it will be handled manually. Finger prints..etc...could corrode from using it will...so you would need to maintained the tool with either a light oil or a quality metal polish (my choice).

dill: I bought this machines square to resquare my saws. I realized that a the last couple month my cuts were always just slightly off and I thought I was just messing up the cuts but I realized that the cuts had an angle even though everything was set to zero. So I found this square which is supposed to be perfectly square. And used it to square up all my saw it worked perfectly. The only issue is they didn’t coat the metal in anything so when I left in next to my saw in my workshop it started to rust a little. Now I keep it in my office and that seemed to stop it but I’m kinda annoyed I can’t keep it by my saws for ease of use when all it needed was a coating that prevented it.

Mark D. BurnhamMark D. Burnham: I have a 6 inch and 2 inch machinest square and wanted a 4 inch to round my set out. I work with wood so the high precision of the top end squares would be wasted on me. As long as this is square to the eye, it will work for me.

I got this and opened it. The box it came in was sturdy but a little worse for the wear. Opened the package and wiped the protective oil off it. Unlike other, uninformed reviews, I think a protective coating of oil is a good thing. Metal rusts unless protected.

I measured the exterior for square and then measured the interior for square. Looks perfect to me.

Machinists squares are not supposed to have graduation marks, they aren't used for measuring. They check things for, well, square.
The sharp edge just means a great reference edge when I check for square as well.

I'm very happy with how accuracy of this tool and especially due to its low price.

Aaron Batson: I watch a lot of tutorials, read a lot of “how-tos” and reviews on equipment. Always kinda figured I didn’t need one of these. I held off ordering for months (although I don’t know why, principle I would guess) and finally dug into the kids college fund to finance this shiny steel accessory. When my video doorbell told of its arrival my heart skipped a beat, I finally own a steel “L” called a square. I could not get my table saw, miter saw, tri-square (also not shaped like a square) and framing square out and dusted off fast enough. I set out to prove my many botched pieces of wood were due to faulty equipment. Oops. The two squares are, as you can guess, square indeed. I set out to check on my saws next. Now we have some challenges. After a bit of fiddling this tiny but herculean piece of precision tells of saw blades ever so slightly out of alignment. I make adjustments, finish a cold adult beverage, make some more adjustments, and lo and behold, square blades! Or at least blades square to tables and fences and stuff. This square, although tiny, is perfect for the purpose. It fits neatly into the equipment to check on tolerances and its heft makes it very stable. I...
