Pricey, but worth it if you want precision
Look at where the red part meets the gold, there's a lip there. This lip lets you rest the red part over the edge of a board and it won't pivot down or tip over; it's a great feature. Because this tool is so accurate; I mainly bought it for aligning tools, which it has done flawlessly.Whenever I need a precision cut, this is the tool I reach for.If you can get over the price, you'll love it.It's dead on square too, inside AND out.Avoid the squares that have wood handles as changes in humidy change the squareness!Incra is hard to beat when it comes to precision instruments, and once again they've done a fine job.

Overpriced !!.. Buy it if you can afford it..
Great tool but seems very expensive unless you work for where it is must to have it something this expensive and accurate.

Well, I already have it so will try to justify by using it more often.

Very well designed and built
The big deal about this square is that the inside lip on the handle lets you set it down on an edge and it will support itself! No other square that I know of does this.

Also, I tested their claim of squareness and found that it is dead on.

Great, just great!
Look at where the red part meets the gold, there's a lip there.This lip lets you rest the red part over the edge of a board and it won't tip over or move; it's a great feature.Because this tool is so accurate; I don't keep it in my apron, which means I don't use it a lot.However, I mainly bought it to keep my tools aligned, which it does perfectly.If you can get over the outragous price, you'll love it, along with their regular square too.Incra is hard to beat when it comes to precision instruments, and they've done a fine job here. ...

I'm hooked on Incra "Mania"
I first bought the Incra TSIII-32 table saw fence. I became indoctrinated into the Incra system. One that creates unbelievably accurate results with the least amount of effort. When I tell others that my fence-table saw is adjusted so that I can cut any size board, take out a dial caliper and it is accurate to .002", then get mad at me and tell me I'm either wrong or not telling them the truth, but it is true.
I then bought the 6" rule, and it is so accurate, I measure all of my other measuring devices by it. I wound up throwing out my far less than accurate tape measures and rules. Oh a lot of them are accurate through out the rule, but the beginning reference could be off somewhat. What else matters? Some people are not into getting totally accurate measurements. My philosophy is to strive for perfection, and settle for excellence. So onto the rule.
Since it has these tiny holes that you place the tip of a mechanical pencil into, then slide the rule along your workpiece. Thereby insuring a perfect line, exactly the distance from the edge. No holding the pencil along a rule, and sliding it along, making a varied line. If you use these rules, and gently begin your cut a hair over the line, you can tweak the workpiece up to the edge of your blade at exactly the mark line.
I use the 6" so much, that I decided to get the 12" complete set, which includes the edge-corner rule etc. I know that when I need to mark a workpiece greater than 6", I am going to be cursing myself for needing to use a ruler and a try to make the mark at the right spot method.
The thing about the Incramental system, in all of the their equipment, is that it takes less time to make a perfect cut. Some people feel that this kind of accuracy is not essential, but once you get into perfect fitting cuts, your quickly spoiled. Incra is unique. Check out all of their items. This rule set is a nice addition to your arsenal. Highly recommended.

Best on the market.
I calibrate measurement tools for a living and it's not very often I'm impressed by tools in this price range. I also almost never give anything 5 stars.These are the exception.

No measuring device is "exact" but, after calibration, I found these to be as accurate as rulers costing 5 times as much.Also, the aluminum bar is amazingly repeatable. I found that removing and replacing the bar caused no degredation in accuracy. So don't be affraid to adjust the bar to suit your application.As long asthe ruler is seated against the stop it will have a remarkable accuracy.

The price is the final star in this package. I would expect to pay twice this price to get even one ruler this accurate and useful. But here they give you three.You can't go wrong with these.

Best money I have spent this year
I love this tool. It will save you a lot of time and hassle when compared to marking with the standard square or tape measure. With the standard way you have to make sure that your eyes are right over the mark to ensure accurate cuts but this tool takes that variable out of the equation. I will definately buy the 18" set next and I hope to see a long 48" version or if possible a tape measure with the same hole type marking. Hey I can dream can't I. ... Read more

Nice!
This is the finest measuring/marking tool I presently own. Well worth the $17.99 price tag. I will be buying the 12" version and the Incra protractor a.s.a.p.

Incra Makes the Most Dependable Marking Tools
I bought this T-Rule along with Incra's marking rule and their "bend rule." All are terrific and useful measuring devices, and I use them on practically every woodworking project I do. They are accurate down to 1/64", and there are convenient marking holes at each spot. You can use these holes to make a perfect mark at the right measurement. Of course, it's up to you to draw a perfect line across that mark and cut it on your saw, but the Incra rule helps you put down a perfect mark to work from.

In some of Incra's brochures, they show a way to use the T-rule to mark your lines. You put the pencil into one of the marking holes, and then you slide the rule along the wood's edge. As the rule slides, a perfect line is drawn. I don't do this myself, but I see that it's possible.

The T-rule is made of sturdy material, and it is dead-on accurate. The rule portion is flexible but strong. It can slide along the "T" section, depending on how you need to do your measurement.There are two adjustment knobs, which you loosen, then move the rule, and then re-tighten the knobs. When locked, the rule is held down securely and accurately. (As an aside, the "T" also has that trademark red color I associate with Incra products -- it has a soothing quality for me.)

Although the rules are made of thin metal, they are very strong. I've dropped my rules a few times, even stepped on the T-rule once, and it didn't seem bothered by it at all.

One thing to be aware of is that the measurements on this rule are in 1/32" and 1/64" increments.This means you have to convert into 1/4" or 1/8", which isn't too much of a problem, but it is something to be aware of. It's a fine trade-off for such accuracy.

Over all, this is a great product that can be used in every furniture-making project for accurate markings.

From Close to Perfect, In Just One Tool !
Commonly we use a tape measure to mark our work piece before cutting. The small tab at the end of our tape measure is always loose. Some argue that it was built intentionally that way, so that when you stretch it, it slides to make up for the allowance of the thickness of the tab. When compressed, it slightly shortens the length to once again make up for the tab. That sounds good, until you actually measure something with it both ways, and come up with a 32nd of an inch or more difference. If we are rough framing that is fine. When we are doing anything that doesn't demand close tolerances, it suffices.
What is interesting, is that the smaller the cut, or the finer the project, critical tolerances become all the more important. Installing a set of kitchen cabinets, and you have to nick a 1" corner in something. That can be difficult to do perfectly. If cut wrong, it stands out like a sore thumb. What this Precision Marking Rule will do is give you perfect lines effortlessly. Less time spent, and undeniably exact markings.
Incra designed this so that each measurement, whether you are measuring to a 32nd or a 64th can be done almost without your glasses on. Each measurement is marked with a small hole next to it. In there fits the tip of a .5mm mechanical pencil, or sharpen a regular pencil to a fine tip, give it a couple of twists to center it in the hole and you are ready to go. What I did in the past was use a framing square, park my pencil on my measurement, then try to hold it still on the square, while I glided it along. It normally wouldn't hold totally true. With this rule, it prevents the pencil-marker from floating. It stays in the hole for a flawless measurement along the entire line. It is not harder, it is easier.
You can see how ultra fine this capacity is. As a matter of fact the incra system is the most exacting measuring, fencing, and marking systems available. Some things we don't need this level of accuracy. On the other hand, once you get into the "incra"mental system, their is no going back. It takes less time, for better results. I just bought the Incra TSIII-32 table saw fence system, and I am sold on the timesavings, and ease of use in doing it right, instead of getting it close.
It is nice to know that if I am dealing with tight tolerances, this is standing by to give me the flawless measuring I need. Even if I am scribing a line along a board, that I need to run through the jointer, I know it will be exact. If I had to be critical on the piece, I would say that since it is for fine measuring, the T-slot aluminum track is substantial, but the metal on the measuring face is thin enough that you wouldn't want to step on it. A thick framers square could be dropped off of a second story, but it won't give you this kind of exactness. For the money, you can't beat this rule. Highly recommended, buy it you won't be sorry. ... Read more

Precision like the other Incra-products
There is not much to say about this product. It is very precise, enabling you to check those miters and get them perfect every time, ajusting tablesaw, bandsaw and other tools. It is solid made, one piece precesion milled block of aluminum, and will provide years of good service. Worth the money for an absolute 45dgr reference.

Amazon.com has issues with ethics. Please read...
This ruler, along with other power and hand tools is overprized. I would love to find out how they come up with "list prices" that are usually 200% higher than a manufacturer suggested price and then fool you into believing that you are getting a 50% discount or something like that. Please search elsewhere for this product; for example http://www.woodpeck.com. The most overpriced items are power tools for woodworking; I have not looked at other tools but I am sure it is the same case. I wonder if Amazon can get sued for false advertising by telling you that you are getting savings that you are not.

Absolutely Repeatable Marking.Best Tool Ever for Mortises!

I echo the words of the other reviewer.I use this thing all the time.It is the only measuring device I ever use when laying out mortises.

Try this with your ruler.Mark 3-31/32" from then edge of your wood and then lift your ruler, move your wood around and try to use the same ruler to make the same measurement.I'm not saying it can't be done, but with this thing, you can draw a .5mm line E-X-A-C-T-L-Y over the one you previously drew.It's not off by a "hair" or a "smidgin" or "a little", it's dead-on.

By sliding the "fence" on this t-rule across your edge as you make your mark, it's possible to make a repeatable and exact measurement from the edge of your board all the way down the length of the board in any increment (down to 64ths).

I stress repeatability because that's very important when trying to mark two separate pieces exactly the same.

Since this ruler came into my shop, I occasionally amaze myself, and that alone makes it worth the price!

Super Rulers -- Super Accurate -- Super Flimsy...
These are the standards in my shop for accuracy.These rulers remove all doubt when measuring.Very thin laser-etched markings on very thin stainless steel with laser-cut marking slots for using a .5mm pencil.If you want accuracy and a "reference" point for other measuring tools in your shop, this is the one to go with.

But... make a rack for them and keep them off the floor... One crimp, and the accuracy is gone.

Still... they get 5 stars!

Exactly What You Need
If you desire to elevate your measuring and marking skills, this handy set will do you right. If you're frustrated at trying to line up your measuring marks your're not alone. No more squinting at the edge of a ruler to see if you've got it right. Get it right each time with this set.

These precision marking rulers have precisely drilled guide slots to fit a marking tool such as a sharp pencil or scribe eliminating the uncertainty in your measurement. The included T-square allows one to scribe the measurement by moving the T-square along a straight edge. Perfect. The marking ruler is handy for making that perfect mark. The bend ruler is great for all those edge and end mesurements.

The rulers are made out of very thin stainless steel and if your not careful you can put a hard to straighten crimp in them.

Use them the first time and you won't want to go back. ... Read more

Terrific marking tool
Anyway, this is very precise marking tool. I have used it to mark long rip lines, dowel holes, biscuit centers etc.. with precision. The concept is so simple you wonder why nobody had thought of it before Incra did. This is the 18" model, Incra also makes a 6" (which I own as well) and 12" models. The smaller one are less unwieldy to use on smaller work pieces. ! ... Read more

Great Tool- decent price
I have owned this square for almost a year now, and I find myself using it more and more with each passing project. It, along with most other Taylor Design Group products, is well thought out and has superb machining. I took this tool to work and put it on a surface plate, and it is indeed accurate inside and outside to within .002 along the length of the blade. The part I truly appreciate is that it is as accurate using the inside 90 degree as it is using the outside 90 degree ( or 270 degree, however you look at it :). I routinely use this square to set up all my stationary equipment. To me a square is all about trust. I use this square to set up a tool, then put it away and let the tool do it's job. I own a Delta Beisemeyer for exactly the same reason.

The only draw back to this tool is the price. In the end, its just a piece of aluminum, anodized and all shiny, and it probably cost 8 bucks to make. I feel a lower price would be more appropriate, but in this case you certainly get what you pay for.

A square is not always square!
I once thought that when you bought a square and took it home, it was square.I just got this square today, and I am surprised with its quality and accuracy.I used it to check carpenter's squares, tri-squares, carpenter's speed squares and a precision Starrett branded machinest's square.Each was off up to .010" except the Starrett, which came in a close second this one.Not bad for the Starrett, since it is over 30 years old and has been dropped many times on a concrete floor. The INCRA is better than the Starrett, since the Starrett is rusted and pitted from years of sitting around in the garage shop.

I know that this is one of the best squares I've ever own and will own.My next purchase will the one with the 45 degree angle. ... Read more
