I purchased a 24" X 36" surface table last December along with a 12" dual beam height gage and a surface gage. Now that I have been learning to measure and layout, I am finding that it would be real nice to have a cylinder square as a reference. Making my own is out of the question. Buying used is something I would rather stay away from. I've been bit too many times.
I was looking at the Shars units. They have a 3" x 6" unit at 15 lbs, and a 4" X 12" at 44lbs
I am in a conundrum as to which to buy. I wonder that one will be too small, or the other will be too big. I guess it is the weight of the larger one that gets me. Many of the parts I will be doing layout on will be withing the 12" envelope. It is mostly auto parts and gun parts and receivers, so the reference will not just be used for checking squares and angle plates.
What size do you think would be a good fit?
