Description
The Procat adjustable angle square 50 cm is a multi-purpose measuring tool designed especially for demanding construction and the joinery industry. The body of the product is made of durable yet light aluminium, which guarantees a long service life and easy handling on site. The key feature of this tool is its stepless adjustment, which lets you lock any angle accurately and transfer it straight to the workpiece.
What sets the product apart from ordinary angle gauges is its multi-functionality: it works at the same time as a traditional angle square, an adjustable rule and a sturdy saw guide. The 55 cm overall length (50 cm effective measuring scale) gives enough reach for handling larger boards and beams. The aluminium rule has clear, hard-wearing markings that make reading easier even in poor light.
When used as a saw guide the Procat angle square offers a firm edge for a circular saw or jigsaw. This makes it an indispensable tool in installation work that needs fast, accurate angled cuts without separate, heavy table saws. The adjustable mechanism is designed to hold the set angle firmly in place even under stress.
The ergonomic design of the tool and the easy-to-use locking screw let you work even with gloves on. Its compact yet large enough size makes it an optimal choice for framing, interior trim work and furniture installation alike. It is designed to withstand daily use and the knocks that inevitably happen on building sites.
Technically, the product is optimised to give maximum stability at minimum weight. The aluminium profile keeps its shape and does not react to changes in humidity as wood-based measuring tools do. This ensures that the angles stay reliable year after year, making the Procat angle square a long-lasting investment for your toolbox.
Intended use:
- Construction measuring and marking: The Procat adjustable angle square is the primary tool for measuring various angles, such as roof angles or sloping walls, and transferring them to the material. It lets you avoid complicated calculations and transfer the existing angle straight to the board or panel being worked. This significantly speeds up installation work and reduces the material waste caused by incorrect measurements in non-standard spaces.
- Saw guide for circular saws: The product is designed to work as a sturdy guide for circular saws and jigsaws. When the angle is locked and the guide is placed against the edge of the workpiece, it gives a straight, stable line for the base plate of the saw. This allows very precise, clean cuts even in site conditions where fixed saw tables are not available, improving the professional quality and safety of the result.
- Joinery and furniture installation: In furniture installation, such as fitting kitchen backsplash areas and corner cabinets, an adjustable angle square is essential. The 50 cm length allows accurate marking even on deep worktops. The tool can be used to check whether corners are square or how far they deviate, so furniture can be fitted and mitred trim joints made to millimetre accuracy, which is critical for a high-quality finish.

Procat adjustable angle square instructions for use:
To use the angle square for measuring, first loosen the locking screw of the rule. Place the body of the square against a fixed surface and turn the rule to the required angle. When the correct angle has been reached, tighten the locking screw carefully to make sure the setting does not change while moving it. If you use the product as a saw guide, make sure the lock is as tight as possible and that the guide is clamped firmly to the workpiece before you start sawing.
For maintenance, check regularly that the threads of the locking screw are free of sawdust and dirt. Clean the aluminium surfaces with a damp cloth and avoid strong solvents so that the markings on the measuring scale stay clear. Store the tool straight to prevent the rule from bending under mechanical stress.
Warnings:
- Do not use the tool as a lever or for prying, as the aluminium profile can bend.
- When using it as a saw guide, make sure the saw blade does not hit the body of the guide.
- Keep out of the reach of children; the sharp corners can cause injury.
- Always check that the locking screw is tight before a critical measurement or cut.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Can this angle square be used on both sides?
No, the product can only be used from one side.
Is the scale engraved or printed?
The scale uses a durable marking designed to withstand abrasion and wear in professional use.
Is this suitable as a guide for all circular saws?
The product is suitable as a guide for most standard circular saws with a straight base plate. Always check the distance from the blade to the guide before working.
