A simple, unique, tool that accomplishes a variety of woodworking tasks. As implied by the name, it is a saddle square used to mark straight lines around adjacent sides. Each leg has a straight edge on one side and a dovetail angle on the other. As a dovetail layout tool, it accommodates softwoods and hardwoods using 1:6 or 1:8 ratio respectively. The ability to lock the tool in position at any angle from 0 to 90 and 90 to 180 degrees makes this an outstanding tool. This feature allows the tool to be used as a transfer bevel. Align the tool on a drawing or workpiece, lock in the desired angle, and simply transfer the angle to setup your machine or layout. Made from brass with a stainless steel locking screw. Dimensions: each leg is 3 1/2" L x 1 1/4" W x 1/4" thick.
