Abstract:
1. A multifunctional squaring jig for holding a first workpiece and a second workpiece in abutment, comprising: a. a first holder having a first mating surface, a second mating surface, and a third mating surface, said first mating surface and said second mating surface foiling a first interior corner; b. a second holder attached to said first holder, said second holder having a fourth mating surface, a fifth mating surface, and a sixth mating surface, said fourth mating surface and said fifth mating surface forming a second interior corner; c. wherein said first mating surface and said fourth mating surface are coplanar on a main plane, said second mating surface is situated on a first vertical plane perpendicular to said main plane, said third mating surface is situated on a second vertical plane perpendicular to said main plane and parallel to said first vertical plain, said fifth mating surface is situated on a first horizontal plane perpendicular to both said main plane and said first vertical plane, and said sixth mating surface is situated on a second horizontal plane perpendicular to both said main plane and said first horizontal plane and parallel to said first horizontal plane; d. wherein said squaring jig is configured to hold and maintain said first workpiece and said second workpiece in a perpendicularly-abutted orientation in both a first aligning configuration and a second aligning configuration; wherein in said first aligning configuration, said first workpiece mates with said first mating surface and said second mating surface and said second workpiece mates with said fourth mating surface and said fifth mating surface; and wherein in said second aligning configuration, said first workpiece mates with said third mating surface and said second workpiece mates with said sixth mating surface.
