DFM Small Square and Marking Center Finder Precision MADE IN USA (Blue)

Use this to plumb my miter saw and table saw. Great little tool and must have!

I looked for a small square to help me with my newly adopted hobby but could not find one until I saw the BFM Blue. I love this thing. It’s so handy and easily accessible I wonder how I got along without it. Looking forward to the Alpha marking blade to become available soon!

I was disappointed after receiving this nifty tiny square but Im going to keep it. Its a little under two thou off on the outside and about a thou on the inside, plus the inside has a tiny hump on the short leg near the corner. I may try to correct it with stones but that will destroy the anodizing...probably will keep it around as quick reference or maybe gift it to a woodworking friend. I really like the compact size and chose this one over some of the excellent steel squares made in the Czech Republic, which cost far less, because this one is nice and thick at 5/8 where the steel ones are 1/4 or less. The centering pins/holes are also a handy feature for a decent rough centerline marking. Generally I dont care about finish quality as long as its serviceable and without major failures - for those that are overly concerned with this, my square in blue did have a couple of those little lighter spots as shown in other reviews and it was also really dark to where it almost appears black without direct decent lighting (kind of a very dark indigo but still on the blue side). For the price, even considering USA-stuff, I expected this to be square-square, and especially so given the very short leg lengths. Its ok. If you need the true accuracy, even a workshop grade machinists square will be far better than what I received and for less than half the price of this you can get toolmakers grade. But Im keeping it.

I use hand plane for my jointing. This tool allow me to easily check that the board edges are square to the face and make adjustments if needed. Small enough that I can always keep in a pocket.

Works like a charm finding center and tracing it

Cool little square from a small company. Youll probably reach for it more often that youd think, so many little uses.

I just received my mini square in the mail yesterday. When opened I noticed it had a decent sized little knick on the top square side. Because of this, the square won’t lay flush. I don’t know how to ask for a replacement. When I tried it just sends me to return it. I would love a new one since this one won’t work with that knick in it.

Great for a pocket and is indeed square. Good product.

Even inside the shop I have a set of tools I keep on my person when working; pencil, knife, tape, etc. You can add one more to the list. This DFM Small Square is a must. It comes up all the time in woodworking, you need to check square this item can get it done with accuracy and usability. It isnt a monster that is bulky to carry around the shop, it is perfect for an apron pocket. The quality of the tool is awesome, and best of all it is made in the U.S.A. A great feature of the square is it allows you to use the provided pins to center mark boards. Quick and easy, no measuring needed (because we all know that 3/4 board doesnt mean a true 3/4). If you are looking to make piston fit items, this square can help you do it. I didnt get anything for the review, these are my own words and I am not a robot or a paid reviewer. Im just a small scale woodworker that appreciates quality tools and decided that I would write a review to help you guys as consumers buy something that is worth the money and not a piece of crap. Side Note: Ordering from Amazon.com, mine did not come with the centering pins. I contacted the manufacturer (he could not have been more helpful and nice), and he sent me the pins at no charge to me. I would definitely purchase this and other products from DFM again. Ronnie
