Marksman Heavy Duty Steel Small Framing Square 300mm – Key FAQs

• Does it have both metric and imperial scales?
  Yes. It features metric graduations on one side and imperial on the other, making it easy to work in either unit.

• Is it suitable for professional carpentry and framing?
  Yes. The heavy gauge hardened/tempered steel and 2.5mm thickness help it stay rigid and accurate for trade and workshop use.

• Are the markings easy to read and durable?
  Yes. The black face with white graduations is designed for high visibility, and the markings are made to resist everyday wear.

• Can it be used on sheet materials like plywood or MDF?
  Yes. It’s ideal for marking and measuring on timber, plywood, MDF and other common sheet materials used in construction and woodworking.

• Will it rust over time?
  The corrosion-resistant, powder-coated finish helps protect it in normal site conditions. As with any steel tool, drying after wet use helps extend life.
