They are designed so the entire ledge is riding on the reference face, even when marking edge dovetails.

The relieved corners at the join of the body ensure perfect seating. Made from anodized aluminium, this pair of markers will never soil your work. 1:6 for softwood & 1:8 for hardwood.

Veritas Dovetail Saddle Markers
Ref: 05N61

These dovetail saddle markers are precision machined at 1:6 and 1:8 angles, the traditional angles for softwood and hardwood dovetails respectively. The long legs ensure accurate registration.

Also, much like the Veritas® Saddle Square™ they are based on, they allow a continuous line to be transferred around the corner, so the straight and angled lines can be scribed at the same time, ensuring perfect alignment. The inside corner is relieved to ensure flush seating.

Made from anodized aluminum, these markers are light and durable, and will never mark your work.

Saddle Squares
Ref: 05N56

Small Saddle Square - Transferring a line from one surface to another with a small square is not easy. Our saddle square allows you to scribe two perpendicular surfaces at one time. But, more importantly, it allows you to pick up on a line already scribed & accurately transfer it to another perpendicular face. With 1 1/4" (32mm) & 2 1/4" (57mm) inside legs, it can wrap a line around workpieces to nearly double this. Made of anodized aluminium, 50mm wide, with both end faces machined square.

Large Saddle Square - Many of the people who purchased the small saddle square have asked for a larger version. This version has 1-3/8" x 3-3/8" legs to accommodate a standard 2 x 4 e.g., for stud wall layout. It also has a slot machined through the centre to help lay out stud locations. Simply mark the centres of your studs on top and bottom plate, then place the square so that the slot is on the centre mark. Mark both sides of the saddle square to give accurate and square stud locations; the large saddle square is 1-1/2" wide so the marks will fit nominal 2" timber. Made of anodized aluminum, with both end faces machined square to within 1/4°.

Mitre Saddle
Ref: 05N5615

When working on small items such as picture frames, a large combination square or try square can often be cumbersome. Not so with the new Veritas mitre saddle. The relatively small size makes it easy to use.

Despite its small size, it still has a large reference face (3-1/2" at the wide end) set at 45°. The leg measures 1" wide by 2-1/4" long. As with the saddle squares, the sides are machined so that a line can be easily and accurately transferred around workpiece corners. With the mitre saddle, however, a right-angle line on one surface is transferred as a 45° angle on the adjoining surface, or vice versa. This way, a line for a mitre cut can be wrapped around all surfaces precisely and will meet perfectly at the corners. The inside corner is relieved to ensure perfect registration.

Made from anodized aluminum, this marker is light, durable, and will never mark your work.
