I am after a combination square that is at least 30” long, something that is affordable but no longer than 45” ideally but happy to longer if prices are good.

I bought a large adjustable version from Lidl or Aldi many years ago, I spotted the same one there recently. It's all metal, marked measurements along the edge, set the angle you want and tighten the clamp.

Eerh, yeah, I just need the ruler bit really, but allows the bits to slide down/up... to mark say 10mm line for screw placements... or something of that effect.

I am needing it to be adjustable if they are not available, I mean the T-square...


Why do I need this, well, I have put together some bits, but I stupidly have no idea where to attach the screws, I have done the outer rim, but now need to work out the inside bits... 30inches is the minimum it would need to be, I have used a tape measure, a pencil, and a scrap bit of the wood, but I still not getting things right.
 
You can get a 1m stainless steel Shinwa L-Angle saw guide, which is effectively a big square.

Otherwise a 450mm Bahco.
 
Yeah, I do mean inches…

So I kind of need a 30inch or a 76.2cm or 762mm

I am happy for anything bigger, but storage might get difficult after 45 inches or about 115cm
 
Hello

Sorry… I don’t know about you guys but I am super confused with this whole post…

I am after one of these

WORKPRO Combination Square 12Inch/300mm, Engineers Set Square, Stainless Steel Angle Ruler, Adjustable Carpentry Square 45/90 Degree with Bubble Level, Measuring Tool for Engineer Carpenter https://amzn.eu/d/0urNkoi

Just extra long. So that I can slide the squares up to the point where I can use it to give correct depth on some sheet wood, and other bits like where to drill through on a wall.

I have a 6” and a 12” one already, but kind of need a 30inch one, but I can go bigger if they do them. Not really any bigger than 45” for storage reasons. I am pretty sure that they do bigger, Axminster seem to make a 24”
 
Couldn't you just buy a steel rule and use the slider off a smaller one with it?
 
That’s kind of what I am doing now… but the combination squares that I am after has a groove inside the ruler allowing the depth set to be square.
