Incra GSQR7 Guaranteed Square 7-Inch Precision Square

Not as described – Bama Engineer – Alabama, USA
Most people who buy a precision square do not have any means of checking to see if it is precise as the manufacturer claims. So, we have to rely on the reputation of the manufacturer and on the recommendations and critiques of others. Before I ordered the GSQR7, I read the reviews here on Amazon. I was persuaded that it was an excellent product (although I had not previously heard of Incra). So, I ordered it.

It arrived very quickly via the free shipping.

Right out of the box I was a little surprised to find scratches on the square. I concluded that these were probably the places where the electrodes were attached during the anodizing. The next realization was that, despite the prominent claim of the manufacturer that this is a “one piece design”, it certainly is not. I counted 12 pieces in all (including 4 bolts, 4 nuts and a decal) and I can’t imagine anybody honestly describing it as having fewer than 3 pieces – the main “L”, and the two red handle pieces. Certainly this would be less expensive to manufacture than a one piece design, but it’s not what I thought I was buying.

I also noted that there is a threaded hole in the blade of mine, which is not shown in any of the photos on the product package nor in the photos shown here on Amazon.

The manufacturer has made two claims
1) It’s a one piece design.
2) The blade is accurate to within 1/1000 of an inch throughout.

The first claim is clearly untrue. I don’t have any easy way to verify the 2nd claim.

The product did not come with any documentation other than a little card which says “Certificate of Accuracy : Incra guarantees the accuracy of this precision instrument to conform to all manufacturer’s specifications. Angular accuracy is guaranteed to be less than 0.001″ maximum deviation from nominal at any point along the full length of the blade.”

However, no “manufacturer’s specifications” were supplied with the product. Also, it is interesting that they specify that only the “blade” is accurate, not the handle – and yet the handle is flush with the blade on the lower side (so that inaccuracy of the handle will affect the results in actual use) and one illustration on the box demonstrates the product being used in a configuration which relies on the accuracy of both the upper surface of the handle and the blade.

So, I’m disappointed. Perhaps everything is just great. Perhaps the handle is just as accurate as the blade. Perhaps the entire unit is square on every surface to the specified 0.001″. I simply don’t know.

If Incra is going to make a precision instrument, then they need to make precise statements about it.
Incra GSQR7 Guaranteed Square 7-Inch Precision Square Incra: GSQR7 The Incra’s Guaranteed Square 7-Inch Precision Square features an accurate, advanced design and fabrication, and carves out a single monolithic blade from a solid slab of hardened aluminum. This means you won’t see the alignment errors that can happen when a separate blade is manually assembled to a separate handle, as in the more common two-piece design. Solid, rugged and beautiful, the hefty construction of the 1/4-inch solid alloy body and the 3/4-inch thick integrated alloy handle just feels right in the palm of your hand. Unlike conventional two-piece designs, the layout angle of this rigid, one-piece body won’t get bent out of shape when you drop it. The trademark gold and red hardened anodized surface is not only durable, but beautiful and it won’t tarnish like brass.

These 45- and 90-degree squares are so precise that they come with a certificate of accuracy that guarantees each one has an angular maximum deviation from nominal of less than 0.001 inches at any point along the full length of the blade. Set cutting tools to the perfect angle, while a support lip holds the tool on the edge of the work piece for marking and layout. Combine this with modern, functional styling and you’ve got a tool that is worthy of the most prominent location in your display cabinet. read more

History of Farm Tractors

The word tractor comes originally from the Latin verb trahere meaning to pull, which is logical enough. The noun itself was first used with its current meaning in 1901, although prior to this date those traction engines that you can still see at old country fairs were already around. These were developed for agricultural use in about 1850, following on from portable steam engines that, from the beginning of the nineteenth century, had helped drive mechanical farm machinery.

The first gasoline-powered tractor with any practical purpose was built by John Froelich of Clayton County, Iowa in 1892 – but he only sold two of them. In the early 1900s, the Hart-Parr Company, also in Iowa, designed and built a tractor for use on farms to help with plowing, planting, tilling the earth, harrowing and disking. In Britain, there were early designs by Hornsby-Ackroyd in 1897 and a three-wheeled version by Dan Albone in 1902 but the first commercially successful tractor came from Saundersons of Bedford in 1908. In the USA, the Twin City Traction Engine Company brought out a successful gasoline-powered tractor in 1911.

When Henry Ford introduced the first, fully mass-produced tractor, the Fordson, in 1917, it was much smaller and more within the price range of ordinary farmers and so the American market began to really develop. Tractors began to make a significant impact on British farming because of the First World War, when there was a great need to increase food production.

In 1918, the John Deere Company – whose leaping deer trademark has been known for 120 years – bought Waterloo Boy Tractors; part of its journey from being a one-man blacksmith shop in 1837 to the global concern it is nowadays.

By 1923, Fordson – by then being manufactured in Ireland, England and Russia as well as back home in the USA, had 77% of the American market and a good foothold overseas. During the 1920s, tractors which had gasoline powered internal combustion engines were becoming standard everywhere. Cheaper manufacturing methods and design improvements led to tractors becoming essential requirements for farmers and, in the 1930s, when Harry Ferguson devised a hydraulic system for attaching implements to the tractors, the hi-tech, multi-functioning vehicle of today was becoming more of a reality.

Modern tractors are now employed in both field and farmyard operations, carrying, powering and using an enormous range of equipment. It’s possible for one man and his tractor to plow in excess of 10 hectares in a single day and it’s not unreasonable for a contemporary farmer to anticipate up to 8,000 hours of relatively trouble-free use from his machine.

Modern improvements in tractor technology have included the introduction of turbo chargers, more four-wheel drive tractors, front and rear mounted tools and attachments, vastly improved tire technology, chassis strength and weight distribution as well as significantly more comfortable cabins and seats for drivers.

Space technology has also found its way to tractors in the form of GPS devices. These devices come in handy when used in modern, precision farming techniques. They sure have come a long way in comfort, style and efficiency. Soon it will be “fashionable” to be seen in a tractor. Ok, maybe we’re not to that point, but tractors have and will continue to play a big role in agriculture and other industries. There will always be a need for farmers and where you find farmers, you’ll find a tractor.
