Starrett 50096 Combination Square Blade 24 Inch 16R

Product Description

The STARRETT 50096 is a 24-inch combination square blade designed for precise layout and measurement work in trade and industrial applications. Built from steel with a satin chrome finish, this blade carries 16R graduation markings in 1/100, 1/64, 1/50, and 1/32 inch increments, giving technicians and tradespeople multiple reference scales on a single blade. It measures 1 inch wide and 0.09 inches thick, providing the rigidity needed for reliable square transfer and scribing. HVAC fabricators, pipefitters, plumbers, and electricians rely on combination square blades like this for consistent layout accuracy on sheet metal, conduit, and structural work.

This blade fits standard combination square heads for use in residential and commercial construction, mechanical rooms, and fabrication shops. It is suited for any trade application requiring precise 90-degree or 45-degree layout reference, surface marking, and depth measurement. The satin chrome finish reduces glare under shop lighting and provides corrosion resistance in humid or dusty environments typical of mechanical and electrical work sites.

Installation Notes

Installation of a combination square blade is performed by a qualified tradesperson or tool user following the head manufacturer's blade-locking instructions. Ensure the locking nut or clamp is fully tightened before use to prevent blade slippage during measurement. Inspect the blade edge for nicks or burrs before scribing finished surfaces. Keep the blade clean and lightly oiled to maintain the satin chrome finish and prevent rust in high-humidity environments.
