DESCRIPTION
The Planet dovetail squares are crafted with spring - steel blades firmly riveted to rosewood stocks with a brass facing. These squares are a must - have for carpentry tasks. To mark your dovetail joints, simply hold the square against the edge of the timber and use a pencil to make your markings. You have two options available. The 1:6 (DT16) version is ideal for softwood projects, while the 1:8 (DT18) is perfect for working with hardwoods.
Using your Planet dovetail square is easy. First, pick the right version for your wood type - 1:6 for softwood and 1:8 for hardwood. Then, firmly place the square against the edge of the timber. Hold it steady and use a pencil to mark where you want your dovetail joint. When you're done using it, clean the square with a dry cloth to keep it in good condition. Store it in a dry place to prevent the rosewood from warping and the brass from tarnishing. Avoid dropping it as this could damage the spring - steel blade. With proper use and care, your dovetail square will serve you well for many carpentry projects.
