Centring Square 500 x 300 mm — matt chrome-plated tool steel (Metav IndustryLine)

The Centring Square 500 x 300 mm is a precision scribing and alignment tool for workshop and machine-shop layout tasks, designed to provide stable, anti-glare faces for accurate marking and centring of shafts and assemblies.

• Matt chrome finish reduces glare
• Tool steel, corrosion-protected
• Large 500 x 300 mm faces for big components

Repeatable accuracy for layout and centring

The matt chrome faces and flat profile deliver repeatable accuracy when establishing centre lines or squareness on substantial parts. With 500 x 300 mm faces the gauge offers a generous reference surface that reduces the need for repositioning, so marking operations become faster and less error-prone. The anti-glare finish improves visibility of scribed lines and etched graduations, which supports precise layout work even under strong workshop lighting.

Built to last with low maintenance needs

Constructed from tool steel with corrosion protection, the unit resists routine workshop wear and provides long service life with minimal upkeep. The matt finish both protects the reading surface and reduces reflective interference, meaning less time spent adjusting views or reworking marks. Robust materials and straightforward surfaces make cleaning and light maintenance easy, ensuring stable performance in regular production environments.

Practical design for efficient workshop workflow

At approximately 1.2 kg, the gauge balances solidity and manoeuvrability: heavy enough to sit flat on a workpiece, yet light enough for single-person handling and quick repositioning. The large faces accommodate layout on shafts and housings, and the specification indicating suitability for a shaft Ø520 mm supports use on sizeable rotating parts. Clear, machine-readable features aid rapid inspection steps and reduce cycle time in marking and set-up processes.

Metav IndustryLine reliability and application scope

The Metav IndustryLine version combines shop-grade durability with a finish tailored to precision marking tasks. Ideal uses include centring and scribing on shafts, flanges and housings in metalworking, toolroom layout, and general machine-shop preparation. The construction minimises distortion during handling and the broad contact faces improve alignment against straight edges and fixtures — advantages that translate directly to fewer reworks and improved scheduling reliability.
