To prevent the knife from running away from the blade of the try-square, turn its edge slightly towards the blade. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
A C D on the edges of X, and across the face at C score a line with knife and try-square. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
To expedite matters, everything should be quite ready before the process is begun, clamps, protecting blocks of wood, paper to protect the blocks from sticking to the wood, braces to straighten angles, mallet, try-square, and all other appliances likely to be required. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
The _try-square_, Fig. 200, which is most commonly used for measuring the accuracy of right angles, is also convenient for testing the width of a board at various places along its length, for making short measurements, and as a guide in laying out lines with a pencil or knife at right angles to a surface or edge. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
Test with try-square, pressing the block of the try-square against the working face. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
In testing the squareness of work with the try-square, care must be taken to see that the head rests firmly against the surface from which the test is made, and then slipped down till the blade touches the edge being tested, Fig. 203. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
Another arrangement, shown in _b_, Fig. 238, has this advantage, that there are no shadows on the work when it is lying on the bench and the worker is holding his rule or try-square on it with his left hand. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
The tools used in dowelling are: Brace, countersink, dowel-rounder, twist bit, try-square, marking-awl, and the usual bench tools. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)
The _steel square_, Figs. 193, 194, 196, 197, is useful, not only as a straight-edge and try-square, but also for a number of graduations and tables which are stamped on it. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
Some tools, like the plane and chisel, and try-square, are so frequently in use that each worker must have one at hand. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
In laying out duplicate or multiple parts, the proper cross measurements should be carefully laid out on one piece and then transferred with a try-square to the other parts laid accurately beside it. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
The try-square is also of great use in scribing lines across boards, Fig. 204. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
From the ends of these lines, on the upper and lower beveled edges score lines at right angles with the knife and try-square. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
This may be tested by placing the chisel against the side of the mortise and standing alongside it a try-square with its head resting on the surface. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
The advantage of this arrangement is that it is easy to test one's work with the try-square by lifting it up to the light. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
Across these lines score accurately with a try-square and knife. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
The dovetail pins on drawer part and back are spaced out and marked on the end with the aid of the joiners 'bevel, the lines being then squared down to the gauge line by the method shown at Fig. 272 -- that is, by using the try-square and marking awl. ❋ William Fairham (N/A)
It can be used as a try-square, and has this advantage, that the head can be made to slide along the rule and be clamped at any point. ❋ J. S. Zerbe (N/A)
The test may also be made with the try-square, Fig. 137, or with a plumb-line, either by the worker, or in difficult pieces, by a fellow worker. ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
The _miter-square_, Fig. 201, is a try-square fixed at an angle of ❋ William Noyes (N/A)
