Stanley 45-500 24 in. Flat Steel Carpenter's Square

The Stanley 45-500 24 in. Flat Steel Carpenter's Square is a full-size framing square for layout and checking square. It is made of hardened steel with a 24 x 2 in. body and 16 x 1-1/2 in. tongue. Embossed 1/8 in. graduations appear on both sides of the square, and reference tables are included for layout calculations. A clear anti-corrosion coating helps protect the steel from rust while keeping the markings visible. The steel construction gives a rigid, durable square that holds up to daily use on the job site. The embossed graduations on both sides mean you can read the square from either face, and the clear coating helps keep the markings legible while protecting the steel.

Stanley 45-500 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What size is the Stanley 45-500 framing square, body and tongue?
The Stanley 45-500 is a full-size framing square with a 24 x 2 in. body and a 16 x 1-1/2 in. tongue. That is the standard framing square geometry carpenters use for rafter and stair layout, so the numbers on the reference tables line up with how framers already work.
2) Can you read the Stanley 45-500 square from either face, or only one side?
Both faces are marked. The 45-500 carries embossed 1/8 in. graduations on both sides, so you can flip it over on the work without losing your scale. Embossed rather than printed means the marks are stamped into the steel and will not wear off the way ink or paint does.
3) Is a flat steel framing square like the Stanley 45-500 the right tool, or should I use a rafter/speed square?
Pick the 45-500 when you need reach and layout math: a 24 in. body and 16 in. tongue lets you lay out rafters, stairs, and long cuts on sheet goods, and it carries reference tables for those calculations. A small triangular rafter square is faster for marking a quick crosscut on a 2x and for guiding a circular saw, but it cannot span a sheet of plywood or step out a stair stringer. Most framers carry both.
4) Can I use the Stanley 45-500 to check whether a door frame or window opening is square?
Yes, that is one of its normal uses. The flat steel body lies flat against the jamb or casing, and with a 24 in. leg and a 16 in. leg you can seat it into a corner and read any gap directly. It also works for checking squareness of frames and for marking sheet goods before cutting.
5) Will a steel carpenter's square rust if it lives in a job box?
The 45-500 is hardened steel with a clear anti-corrosion coating over it, which helps hold off rust while leaving the embossed markings readable. It is still steel, so wipe it down if it gets wet, but it is not a bare, unprotected blade.
6) What is the Stanley part number for the 24 in. steel framing square?
Stanley 45-500 is the model, and it is offered in the single 24 in. size. Order by 45-500 if you are matching squares across a crew or a tool crib.
