Welding Squares

[Limburger]

Hello,

I couldn't keep these to my self, had to share. I'm a mechanic and also work alot with metal. Now i'm building my ''dream'' workbench with a square tube frame. I saw on youtube that Jason from Fireball Tool makes squares for these jobs. To square things up to each other in both directions, were you normally would tag and check with a square and adjust as needed. No need witch these things.
Man I couldn't make this frame faster or better without these.

The tabs make sure the pieces line up.

Really can recommend them, they are located in the USA but also ship from Czech Republic, I believe from Strong Hand Europe (I bought their clambs also).

Nice I’ve had these on the wish list for a while but not been able to justify them. Good to hear they’re worth keeping in the list.

never needed anything like that in 50 years.....
have a couple of those magnetic welders squares when needed to hold the 3rd thing when welding.....I work alone...
easy enough to alow for welding pull, well after years of practice....

First "thing" we made on a welding course 40 years ago was something quite like that! It's still lying around somewhere and comes in handy occasionally, if I can find it.

I also have them but they are always full of metal shavings. I bet when you use them you live it

Know what you mean I use the magnetic ones too, and they do get a bit furry.

Hi Fergie - I'm looking to get some kind of 90 degree clamps for a wheeling machine frame, and later for a Locost chassis (hopefully).
I've read about the magnets affecting the weld (it'll be MiG) - is that your experience? if so, do you think the weaker magnets would affect it less?
Thanks.

Funny op should show that image, when I did marine welding we made our own square blocks to hole joints
Now later in life I am doing much the same in my wood work, clamping set squares in place to hold joints square ....
