Abstract:
1. A squaring tool for measuring exterior planar surfaces of a workpiece wherein said exterior planar surfaces are at substantially a right angle to one another and meet at a rounded edge; said tool comprising: a) a first planar blade that extends in a first direction in a first plane from a proximal end thereof to a distal end thereof, and having inside and outside parallel edges that extend in said first direction; b) a second planar blade that extends in a second direction, perpendicular to said first direction, along a second plane that is parallel to said first plane but offset therefrom a predetermined offset distance, and having inside and outside parallel edges therealong that extend in said second direction; and c) an offset member joining the proximal end of said first blade with the proximal end of said second blade; d) wherein said inside edges of said first and second blades are free of any protuberance or obstruction such that each of said inside edges can lie against a respective exterior planar surface of said workpiece.
