Bridge City AS-24v3

Just got this thing this weekend. Great fit and finish!! (As usual)

Can't wait to use it next week. I need to get the crap off my work bench first. Been stuck in painting mode for the past month. Blah.

Cheers. Bryan.

It looks like a T-Square but not quite. What does it do?

It is a 24" square but has a pivot on one side to allow for angle marking as well. Mine is metric and has a single cursor that is also metric. The thing looks space age but is really a solid piece of kit.

I am going to put it through the paces this week.

Cheers. Bryan.

I like the look of that. I'll be interested to know how you find it.

I've had one for about a year.  It is typical Bridge City quality and utility.  The cursor shown in the OPs photo is magnetic, and will stay in place on the blade.  Look closely and you can see the notch in the edge of it for a pencil, to mark cutting lines when the unit slides along the edge of the material.  You can buy extras in different colors (available when I bought mine).

The head locks in place, whether at 90° to the blade or if you move it to a particular angle.  There are no angle markings, so you have to set it from a reference angled tool or by laying out a parallel line and measuring a distance on that, then moving the angle of the blade to match.

I find it great for marking sheet goods to help in breaking them down.
