JessEm 6-Pc. Saddle Square Set
Stainless Steel Saddle Squares — Beautiful and Accurate!
The Timeless Utility of Saddle Squares
Saddle squares have been essential layout tools since the days of ancient Egypt. Unlike standard measuring tools that only mark a single surface, saddle squares solve a critical challenge: transferring precise markings across corners onto adjoining surfaces.
The result? Perfectly aligned lines every time—no guesswork, no misalignment.
What Makes Saddle Squares Essential?
Saddle squares are designed to straddle 90° corners, ensuring their edges align seamlessly from one side to the next. With a simple motion, you can mark two mating surfaces accurately. This eliminates errors and enhances precision, making them indispensable for both novice and experienced woodworkers.
This JessEm set includes saddle squares for straight 90° cuts, 45° miters, as well as the four most common dovetail angles: the 1:6, 1:7, 1:8 and 14° sizes. Made of solid steel and precision laser cut, they’ll give you accuracy and repeatability for years to come. Plus, they include an anti-skid surface on the back, so they’ll stay put while you’re drawing your lines.

A Quick Look at Why Saddle Squares are Better
Standard measuring and marking tools are great for placing lines on just one surface. But when you need to transfer that line to the mating face of your stock, such as when laying out a tenon, it’s not as easy.
You must get as close as you can, but there’s still a chance that your pencil lines won’t perfectly match up.
Saddle squares neatly solve that problem. They wrap over 90° corners, and the edges of the squares exactly line up from side to top.
You can place the saddle square exactly where you need it and then draw a perfectly matched set of lines on both the top and sides without moving the square. It’s a simple solution to an age-old problem.
