Choose the Drill Square size that’s right for your application.
Special Air Services-Canada Inc. has been manufacturing Special Tools for the Aircraft Industries for more than 20 years. During this time, we have accepted customer suggestions and requests for tool designs and custom sizes. So, when designing and manufacturing these Drill Square, its only logical to manufacture and market what customers need and will choose to buy.
UPDATE 2022-08-21 – We no longer manufacture or stock the larger 2″ X 1.5″ Drill Square P/N 9536814-201. Customer demand, just did not justify its production. We can still manufacture these on a “Batch Demand” basis. Please advise if you are interested.
Here are a few photos of the two sizes of Drill Squares we now produce.
We now offer Drill Squares in 2 Sizes
Current Production Sizes
Drill Square P/N 9536814-302 (Dimension 1.5″ X 1.5″)
Drill Square P/N 9536814-401 (Dimension 1.5″ X 1.0″)
Heat Treated and Tempered
We machine each Drill Square from 1/2″ thick O-1 Tool Steel. Then we heat treated and temped each Drill Square . The heat treating and tempering produces a very hard and scratch resistant tool. Typical hardness is about 59 on the Rockwell C Scale. Each Drill Square then polished.
Drill Square Selection
Primarily, to satisfy a request from a Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) operation, we designed Drill Square P/N 9536814-302. They wanted a shorter guide leg to work with smaller diameter drills like a #30 or #40 Drill. These drill sizes typically have a flute length less than 2 inches. This MRO purchased enough Drill Square to provide a Drill Square to each employee working in their Structures/Sheet Metal facility. We call this one the Medium Drill Square because of its compromised leg lengths.
Lastly, based on our own experience, we designed Drill Square P/N 9536814-401. We wanted a Drill Square to use in tight spaces. It was designed in an effort to accommodate the shorter flute lengths of stub drills, usually chucked in an angle drill. We call this one the Stubby Drill Square because of its compact design.
Drill Squares – 2 Sizes Another Lifetime Tool
