Positioning & Clamping Squares

Clamp a positioning square inside a corner and two panels stay at an exact right angle while you drive screws or wait for glue. A set of four lets you square a whole cabinet box by yourself.

How do I attach them?

Use any F-clamp or spring clamp through the slots in the square.

Do they work on drawers?

Yes, smaller squares fit inside drawer boxes.

What warranty and returns do I get?

Every tool ships free in the US with a 12-month warranty and 30-day returns.

Buying guide

How to hold work steady

Work that moves ruins cuts and costs fingers. Dogs, hold-downs and horizontal toggle clamps lock parts to the bench or jig so both hands stay on the tool.

Match dog diameter to your bench holes, size a toggle clamp to the force you need, and add track where you want adjustable stops.

Check hole size

Most benches use 19-20 mm or 3/4 in. dog holes.

Clamp low

Hold-downs close to the cut reduce chatter.

Add a stop

A planing stop keeps boards from sliding.
