Description
This is a framing square, or carpenters square. It is a tool that carpenters and other tradesmen use. It consists of a large arm and a smaller one, which meet at an angle of 90 degrees (a right angle). It can also be made of metals like aluminum, which is light and resistant to rust. The wider arm, two inches wide, is called the blade ; the narrower arm, one and a half inches wide, the tongue . The square has many uses, including laying out common rafters, hip rafters and stairs. It has a diagonal scale, board foot scale and an octagonal scale. On the newer framing squares there are degree conversions for different pitches and fractional equivalents.
