CNC machined from high quality T6 European aluminium plate, the MTS 100 is a sturdy and robust little tool. It's incredibly versatile, easily fitting in the pocket of a tool vest or tool belt.
 
The face has a 15 micron+ thick anodised surface (this thick coating is not usually found on lower priced tools) and is mated to the two-part machined aluminium fence using stainless steel fixings.
 
The fence has a 45 degree chamfer removed from the corner near the pivot point. This is so the MTS 100 can be used on steel box section where welds may build up in the corners, or where an internal radius on woodworking projects prevents other squares from sitting snugly into the corner.
 
The MTS 100 includes pencil scribe notches from 1mm to 100mm allowing ultra precise and quick marking. The odd scale numbers are on one side and the even numbers on the reverse.
 
The 100mm ruler is laser marked in a recessed pocket to prevent the graduation marks rubbing off over time.
 
There's also a handy degree gauge running along the hypotenuse edge that has been calibrated to the inside pivot edge of the the fence.
 
Overall the MTS is a great introduction to the excellent craftsmanship and engineering that the TrigJig tools are renowned for.
