Longest combination square?

[Gaogier]

Hello

what are the largest as in longest combination square that is available to diy people, not trade or commercial only.

I am after a combination square that is at least 30” long, something that is affordable but no longer than 45” ideally but happy to longer if prices are good.

I just use a wood saw when I need a longer line.

You can get very long wooden T squares off amazon for about £20 eg https://www.amazon.co.uk/Helix-90cm...cd-328859b519b7&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m

I bought a large adjustable version from Lidl or Aldi many years ago, I spotted the same one there recently. It's all metal, marked measurements along the edge, set the angle you want and tighten the clamp.

Bahco Combination Square 300mm (12") | Toolstation

45 and 90 degrees. Adjustable depth for repetition marking. Built in level bubble for approximate marking and a metal scriber contained in the end. A sliding combination square with both metric and imperial markings, supplied with metal scribe for marking. The combination square allows...

Eerh, yeah, I just need the ruler bit really, but allows the bits to slide down/up... to mark say 10mm line for screw placements... or something of that effect.

I am needing it to be adjustable if they are not available, I mean the T-square...


Why do I need this, well, I have put together some bits, but I stupidly have no idea where to attach the screws, I have done the outer rim, but now need to work out the inside bits... 30inches is the minimum it would need to be, I have used a tape measure, a pencil, and a scrap bit of the wood, but I still not getting things right.

Is it me or does that last post by the OP not make much sense?

 

[ETAF]

i have 2x 300mm and 2x150mm , all excellent
a little confused - you said you wanted 30" inches or did you mean 300mm

 

[^woody^]

You can get a 1m stainless steel Shinwa L-Angle saw guide, which is effectively a big square.

Otherwise a 450mm Bahco.

 

[Gaogier]

Yeah, I do mean inches…

So I kind of need a 30inch or a 76.2cm or 762mm

I am happy for anything bigger, but storage might get difficult after 45 inches or about 115cm

 

[^woody^]

Get a bigger one and a hacksaw

Hello

Sorry… I don’t know about you guys but I am super confused with this whole post…

I am after one of these

WORKPRO Combination Square 12Inch/300mm, Engineers Set Square, Stainless Steel Angle Ruler, Adjustable Carpentry Square 45/90 Degree with Bubble Level, Measuring Tool for Engineer Carpenter https://amzn.eu/d/0urNkoi

Just extra long. So that I can slide the squares up to the point where I can use it to give correct depth on some sheet wood, and other bits like where to drill through on a wall.

I have a 6” and a 12” one already, but kind of need a 30inch one, but I can go bigger if they do them. Not really any bigger than 45” for storage reasons. I am pretty sure that they do bigger, Axminster seem to make a 24”

 

[matlob]

Couldn't you just buy a steel rule and use the slider off a smaller one with it?

 

[Gaogier]

That’s kind of what I am doing now… but the combination squares that I am after has a groove inside the ruler allowing the depth set to be square.

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

If you can't find one longer than 2ft then one probably doesn't exist. What about https://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-Exp...73&hvtargid=pla-422783082233&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
