Made with a thin steel blade fixed at 90° into a thicker stock that is typically made of wood. The inside face of the stock is sometimes faced with brass to reduce wear. Historically woodworkers would often make their own try squares out of wood. The top of the stock is sometimes at a 45° angle so the square can also be used as a mitre square.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTESalaman1975477-479_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESalaman1975477-479-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/wiki/T-square" title="T-square">T-square</a>, or glazier's square,<sup id="cite_ref-:0_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> or drywall square.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </td> <td><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Frameless"><a href="/wiki/File:Drafting_board_with_T_Square.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Drafting_board_with_T_Square.jpg/220px-Drafting_board_with_T_Square.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Drafting_board_with_T_Square.jpg/330px-Drafting_board_with_T_Square.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Drafting_board_with_T_Square.jpg/440px-Drafting_board_with_T_Square.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3436" data-file-height="2291" /></a></span> </td> <td>A <a href="/wiki/T-square" title="T-square">T-square</a> is a style of square where the blade is fixed onto on into the middle of the stock, forming a 'T' shape.

The materials, most notably wood, can also vary with changes in temperature and humidity.

A bright light or feeler gauges can be used to check for gaps between the square and the object being referenced. </p><p>Through symmetry squares can also be checked against themselves. One method for L-shaped squares (illustrated) is to hold the square against a reliable known straight edge, a line is struck using a <a href="/wiki/Marking_knife" title="Marking knife">marking knife</a> or sharp pencil, the square is then flipped over and from the same point another line is struck.
