”A tool should be as compelling when not in use as it is when serving its intended purpose” John Economaki, founder of Bridge City Tool Works. John Economaki started Bridge City Tool Works in 1983 and many now regard him as one of the most innovative tool-makers of our time. John is unlike any other tool-maker in his rejection of just about every accepted formula for making traditional hand tools. Yet, many of his innovations have since become common practice within the tool industry. For example, Bridge City Tools was the first to use A2 steel plane irons, and optically lap the rear of the blade. Many Bridge City designed tools are highly collectable and many are tools that no one has thought of before. Manufactured using the finest materials, these products from Bridge City are the ultimate woodworking tools. We have selected some of the most prestigious measuring and marking tools from Bridge City Tool Works. Each is a thoughtfully designed and superbly crafted tool. Now watch the video online!

AS-24v3 Adjustable Square Big on accuracy, big on versatility. Serving both as a large fixed 90° reference and an adjustable bevel square, the AS-24v3 is one of the most versatile bench layout tools you will ever own. The AS-24v3 features a 285mm long, split, anodised aluminium head. The fixed half gives you a permanent 90°, 600mm long T-square with an accuracy of ± 0.05mm over the entire blade length. The other half of the head pivots; set the blade of the tool to any angle you require and flip the square to use it as a 600mm adjustable bevel. The locking mechanism for the pivoting head takes the form of a cam lever. This locks the head firmly in place without the possibility of minute rotational movements caused by turning a locking knob. The AS-24v3 blade features laser-etched graduations, 0 to 600mm. These graduations are on one edge only; the opposing edge is “blank” and is useful for story-stick markings with a pencil. The satin chrome finish provides a nice contrast to pencil marks in addition to making it easy to wipe clean. The AS-24v3 blade is a hardened, precision straight edge, and safe to use with marking knives or veneer cutters. Optional AS-24v3 Magnetic Cursors allow you to reference individual graduations to speed layout of multiple boards. The AS-24v3 is a beautiful and accurate solution towards your quest of quality workmanship. Inc.vat Ex.vat Code 600mm Adjustable Square £172.96 £144.13 104571
