Whether you have 40 years of woodworking experience or 40 hours, those tiny lines on rules and tapes can be difficult to see and even more difficult to transfer accurately to your work. Woodpeckers Saddle T-Squares improve your lay out accuracy with three unique features – a series of holes to guide your pencil, an edge that wraps around your work, and a high-contrast laser-engraved scale. These three great features are packed into tools that easily drop in your shop apron or carpenter jeans pocket, so you’re always ready for precision layout work.
Woodpeckers Saddle T-Squares
Precision Parallel Scribing. The first thing people notice when they see our Saddle T-Squares is the array of holes perforating the center of the blade. The holes are perfectly spaced 1/32" apart and are sized just right for the tip of a mechanical pencil. Laying down a line parallel to the edge of your stock is as simple as finding the hole you want, dropping in a pencil and sliding the Saddle T along the edge.
Wrap Around Marking. Instead of struggling to re-align a square to transfer a mark from the face to the edge, with the Saddle T-Square you can do it in one fluid motion. The 3/4" deep reference edge is machined perfectly in line with the scale edge.
Beveled Edges and High Contrast. When you do need the scale, you’ll never find one easier to read than the scale on the Saddle T-Square. The aluminum body is anodized in our familiar “Woodpeckers Red” and the laser engraved scale is bright white. It’s much easier to see than most other rules, even in poor lighting conditions. We also beveled the edges 30 degrees. That puts the calibrations right down on top of your work, eliminating parallax viewing error. Prefer Metric? We make the same tool with the pencil-tip guide holes on a 1mm grid and metric scales on the edges.
Designed and Built to Last. Woodpeckers Saddle T-Squares are milled from one solid block of aircraft grade aluminum on our state-of-the-art CNC milling centers. Every edge is chamfered, making the tool comfortable to work with and easy to hold. Even the tiny pencil holes have beveled edges to guide your pencil tip in place. The red anodized surface not only looks great, it reduces friction with your work.
Choose Your Size or Get the Whole Set. We make the Saddle T-Squares in 4", 6", 8" and 12" lengths and metric equivalents. Each size is available individually, or cover all your layout needs with a full set. The set includes all four sizes, in your choice of inch or metric scales and your choice of a Woodpeckers molded case, a Systainer or our brand new wall mountable Saddle-T Rack-it. Both cases include a custom-fit foam liner to keep your Saddle-T’s safe when you’re not using them.
Like all Woodpeckers products, the Saddle T-Squares are precisely machined and carefully inspected in our Strongsville, Ohio, factory.
Face & Edge Marking
You can mark the face and edge of your stock at the same time. Reference edge is precision-milled in line with the scale edge.
Scribe Parallel Lines
Scribing parallel lines couldn't be simpler. Just drop your pencil in the right hole and slide along the edge.
Beveled Edges
Beveled edge reduces parallax error and precisely guides perpendicular marking.
Simplify Joinery Layout
The 4 inch and 6 inch Saddle T-Squares simplify joinery layout.
Full Sets Include Rack-It Mount
Keep your Saddle Squares handy and organized with the Saddle-T Rack-It. Included with Full Set purchases.
Many Sizes Available
We offer 3 inch, 6 inch, 8, inch and 12 inch sizes along with metric versions 100mm, 150mm, 200mm and 300mm.

Really well made – you can “feel” the quality. Precise tool, 0.7mm lead pencil fits in holes with no issues. Looks great when using or in the tool box (not functionally important). Easy to read measurements. The only thing I don’t like about this tool is the price – I guess sometimes you have to pay for quality.

High quality built to last design that's light enough to fit in your pocket. No need to measure twice, this is very precise.

My old combination square was hard to read, and I wanted to upgrade to something more precise. I live in a warm, moist climate, and all of my old squares are rusting. I liked the idea of precise marking holes, but this 6-inch saddle square may be too large to conveniently mark mortise and tenons. At these prices, I am not likely to try several different models.

This is my first Woodpeckers tool and I absolutely love it. I read the reviews and watched the video demo. But, as soon as the Saddle T Square showed up, I found multiple uses for it. I’m currently building cabinets and this little sweetheart is one of those gems that just makes it easier.

This is without doubt the most precise tool I own to date! The markings are so accurate it has changed the way I construct Wood and the attention to detail I’m way more comfortable taking. There are so many uses for this thing in addition to the fine measurements like squaring wood, blades , marking attachment points and the list goes on! Pricey? Absolutely. But if you want to step up your game and take care of it, it’s a one time purchase for life. Also it’s a local company that deserves attention. No doubts here, just accurate happiness!
