Abstract: Provided is a fabrication square for aligning workpieces. The square includes a triangular shaped base, a first arm, a second arm, and a relief cut where the arms intersect the base. The arms extend away from the base at a 90-degree angle. The base and first arm further include a series of holes that match the hole pattern found on a conventional metal fixture table, while the second arm includes a slot to allow for rotation. The square can be aligned with and attached to the fixture table with one or more fixture stops that secures the square to the table via the holes. The use of the square, fixture stops, and table lock the workpieces in position, which in turn prevents movement before, during, and after welding, thereby increasing fabrication precision.
