Kapro 353-08 Try & Mitre Square

The Kapro 353-08 is an 8-inch try and mitre square built for professional layout work. Its cast aluminium handle incorporates three precision-milled surfaces with cast-in platforms at 45° and 30°. A unique retractable ledge support stabilises the tool on any surface. The stainless-steel blade carries permanently etched graduations for lasting accuracy.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This square suits carpenters, joiners and metalworkers who need certified 90° accuracy combined with quick angle marking at 10°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 50° and 60°. The first four inches are graduated in 1/32-inch steps for fine detail work. Builders who require metric graduations or a longer blade should look at other models.

Deciding specification: retractable ledge

The single feature that decides fit is the retractable ledge support paired with pre-drilled marking holes at seven fixed angles plus 1/4-inch spaced openings for parallel lines. If your workflow depends on rapid, repeatable angle transfers without a separate protractor, this tool delivers that capability.

Questions about this item

Will the stainless-steel blade need replacing if the etched graduations wear down?

The blade has permanently etched graduations, 1/32 inch for the first 4 inches and 1/16 inch thereafter, designed for long-lasting accuracy without replacement.

What limits accuracy when the square is used continuously on a job site?

The certified 90° square relies on three precision-milled handle surfaces and a retractable ledge for stability; accuracy holds as long as those surfaces stay undamaged.

Does the cast-aluminum handle get hot or slip after hours of use?

The handle is cast aluminum with three precision-milled surfaces and built-in 45° and 30° platforms, providing a stable grip that does not heat up or become slippery during extended use.
