Circle Square

[Don Lester]

Years ago I bought a tool called Circle Square from the inventor here on Rec.Woodworking. Over the years it has been my favorite marking and measuring tool. If anyone knows the inventor of this tool, could you post back here with any kind of contact info you might have. I would really like to pick up another of them or two. It has held up really well, but I live in fear of the day I drop it or somehow accidently break it.

Thanks

Search this group for "circular square bench stop".... the display will be preceded by DIY and looks to be a post by JOAT. There is a link in the post, but it either won't open for me or it not longer exists. Not sure what the link is, since I can't open it, and, for some reason, I'm having a problem inserting a link.

I copied & pasted the post, by JOAT:

Is it such a complicated device that it precludes a text description right away?

[Don Lester]

I find that my words are quite often inadequate for the tasks to which I set them, and such being the case I will post a picture this evening so that the picture can do so eloquently what it takes words 10,000 to do.

Ok, I'm interested. But you should know, this better be some really intriguing device that I'm waiting for and not some dinky piece of junk, or you'll pay for it. :)

You could try to describe what you have. It may now go by another name. In metal machining, some people use a precision ground cylinder as a 90° reference on a surface plate. Let's say the cylinder is 3" in diameter and 6 inches tall. If the ends are faced perfectly, then, when stood on end upon a surface plate, the outer surface of the cylinder is at exactly 90° to that surface plate. Is that what you are talking about? If not, then what?
