Talk:Set square

Common form of set square

"More commonly the set square combines this with a ruler and a half circle protractor, like on the picture"

I'd dispute this -- I've never seen the combination pictured, but I've owned several of the sort that just has a gap in the middle.... Casper Gutman (talk • contributions) 17:40, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Has the picture been changed? It doesn't show (or perhaps no longer shows) the combo style of set square described in the text, an example pic of which is available on the Dutch (http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodriehoek) and German (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodreieck) versions of this article. Perhaps the combo style is a Continental/American thing? I also never owned such a thing when at school in the UK, only a plain one with an open centre of the kind Casper describes (and pictured in the article), but here in Belgium at least, where I now live and work, the combo style is pretty much the only style available in high street supermarkets. 81.164.160.148 (talk) 17:43, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Narrow definition?

This article seems to be focusing on the type of set square used for producing diagrams in maths/engineering. What about woodworking (I'm sure there are other examples..) Tomcrocker (talk) 11:14, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
