Description
Steel Combination Set, mm, 600mm
The Starrett 435M-600 Combination Set has a square head, center head, reversible protractor head, and 600 mm blade with graduations in 1 mm and 1/2 mm on both sides, with numbered graduations every 10 mm. The protractor head has revolving turrets with direct-reading double graduations of 0 to 180° in opposite directions, for accurate reading of angles above or below the blade. It is reversible, with shoulders on both the front and back for reading on both sides.
The blade is made of hardened steel, and the heads are cast iron with a black wrinkle finish. The square head has a scriber, a 90° square face, and a 45° miter face. It can be used for scribing right angles and parallel lines, or as a tri-square, miter, depth gauge, height gauge, or level. The center head accurately locates the center of cylindrical or square work. All heads have reversible bolt locks, and the square head and protractor head each have a spirit level. The combination set comes in a protective case.
Protractors are tools that measure specific angles, which allow users to create and replicate desired angles. The tools include a stationary base and movable rule, usually connected by a scale that may be digital or manual. They are useful in a wide range of applications, such as measuring crown molding and installing baseboards. A protractor can be included as part of a combination set, along with a center and a square. A center accurately locates the center of a circle or cylindrical rod. A square is used to scribe right angles and parallel lines, calibrate miter and table saws, or as a miter, height gauge, or depth gauge.
