Manufactured from steel with a satin chrome finish, the blade measures 1 inch wide and 0.09 inches thick. It is designed for precision layout and measurement work in mechanical, fabrication, plumbing, and general trade applications. Machinists, pipefitters, sheet metal workers, and experienced tradespeople rely on combination square blades for scribing, depth measurement, and checking squareness on flat stock, pipe, and structural components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blade is suited for shop and field use wherever a full 36-inch measuring reference is needed. The 4R graduation pattern provides four scales along the blade face, giving the installer or layout tech multiple increment options without switching tools. The satin chrome finish reduces glare under work lighting and resists corrosion in typical shop environments. It is appropriate for residential and commercial construction, fabrication shops, and mechanical service work requiring accurate long-length layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36-inch blade length for long-reach layout and measurement tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4R graduation style with four scales: 1\/64, 1\/32, 1\/16, and 1\/8 inch increments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction provides rigidity and durability under repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSatin chrome finish minimizes glare and resists surface corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch blade width with 0.09-inch thickness for stable, flat contact on work surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement blade for standard combination square heads that accept a 36-inch graduated blade. Verify head slot width and locking mechanism compatibility before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade replacement on a combination square typically requires loosening the locking nut or thumb screw on the square head and sliding the existing blade free from the groove. Slide the new blade into the head groove, confirm graduation markings face the correct direction for the intended use, and retighten the locking fastener securely before measuring. No power tools or electrical shutoffs are required for this task. Handle blade edges carefully, as the steel edges can cause cuts during installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Increments\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/64, 1\/32, 1\/16, and 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Satin Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50097\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539554271538,"sku":"50097","price":504.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7f8c9bf310e33eb92e72de6c253b283b.jpg?v=1785842958","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-50097-combination-square-blade-36-in-4r","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
