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!

Great small square.

I bought it, and yes, dimensions are stated on the product page ... I thought that in order to be useful this square needs to at least twice as big as what I received (out-of-square will be more detectable over a larger distance). It did not even occur to me that a square could be as small as this one is (thats why I totally skipped reading the size info and visualizing that in my head). Now that I am holding this square in my hands, I see that it could be useful in some tight-space situations and/or machine shop, but for woodworking one generally needs something bigger. Also, the color is waaay off. I ordered blue, what I received is more purple and darker that the product page shows. The color shown on the page is more appealing (to me) and also would make the thing easier to spot on ones workbench or toolbox -- thats where the color matters a bit. All-in-all, if I saw this product in real life / store shelf -- I would have probably paid $10, but not nearly $30 I paid for it on Amazon.

It was exactly what I was looking for.

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!

Very accurate, US Made mini square. Has been useful for drawing lines like a saddle square and squaring up plane blades. The center marking feature will be very useful, but havent used it yet. Love being able to buy in different color so it can stand out if Im looking for it.

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.

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.

awesome

I love my DFM small square. Super handy for layout work, especially as a saddle square. Well worth the money, and you’re supporting American jobs with your purchase.
