It comes in four versions: an imperial or metric framing square, with a clamp lock or magnetic lock combination square.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou save over $150 with this kit as opposed to buying the tools individually.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/products\/messerschmidt-timber-framing-chisel\"\u003eMHG Messerschmidt Timber Framing Chisels\u003c\/a\u003e (1-1\/2 in and 2 in) and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/products\/wood-is-good-mallet-30-oz\"\u003eWood Is Good Mallet\u003c\/a\u003e (30 oz) cut the mortise. The MHG chisels are German framing chisels with 7 in blades, 18 in overall, hardened to 61 HRC over the full working length, on oiled ash handles in steel sleeves. The 30 oz mallet has a lead-plugged urethane head that absorbs shock and will not split a chisel handle, and it is the mallet we recommend to nearly everyone driving framing chisels. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/products\/mhg-slick\"\u003eMHG Timber Framing Slick\u003c\/a\u003e (2 in) pares wide surfaces flat. Its canted blade gives your knuckles clearance, it is made in true inch sizes, and like every slick it is pushed, never struck.

It is 6-1\/2 in long with a 1-5\/8 in A2 iron bedded at 12 degrees, the low angle that suits end grain, and an adjustable mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/products\/wood-owl-ultra-smooth-tri-cut-auger-bit-18\"\u003eWood Owl Tri-Cut Auger Bit\u003c\/a\u003e (18 x 3\/4 in) bores the mortise, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/products\/centering-mirror\"\u003eCentering Mirror\u003c\/a\u003e helps you bore square without a drill press: sight the bit against its reflection, and when the two form one straight line you are at 90 degrees. Two Japanese pull saws cut the tenon. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/products\/ryoba-handsaws\"\u003eGyokucho Ryoba Saw\u003c\/a\u003e (300 mm) has rip teeth on one edge and crosscut teeth on the other on an 11-3\/4 in blade.

It is stainless steel with deeply etched graduations and carries the rafter table, brace table and octagon scale, and we put it in our kits because it is truer than the common hardware store square. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sheltertools.com\/products\/kapro-combination-square\"\u003eKapro Combination Square\u003c\/a\u003e (12 in) checks square and sets depths. The clamp lock version (Kapro 352) locks the blade with a traditional clamp, and the magnetic lock version (Kapro 325) holds it with magnets so it stays where you set it.
