TRIAL 1 - The  mark of highest quality

This small selection of Rosewood tools  represents the very best quality we produce. They are based on designs of the tools last made over 70 years ago, which carried our 'TRIAL 1' brand, or Corporate Mark.

The  squares  have 1/8th inch thick machined brass on both the inside and outside faces, thus ensuring accuracy on the inside and outside edges.  They  have a chemically blacked spring steel blade, secured to the stock with brass diamond washers and steel rivets.  The accuracy of the try squares is well within that required by BS3322.

The Screwslide Mortice and Marking gauge has a full 1/8th inch. thick brass face. The stock is locked on to the stem by either polished steel locking turnscrew, or brass knurled thumbscrew (both supplied) and protective brass pressure pad. The locking screw is set within a traditional brass protective shield.  A screw slide gives fine and precise adjustment of the mortice pins and on the back of the stem is a single marking gauge pin.

All the tools are made using plantation grown Rosewood, and are finished with a gloss lacquer.
