Rafter Square 12in Aluminium Dual Scale Framing

A 12in rafter square for marking, measuring and setting out on timber, with a clear square profile that helps when straight lines and consistent layout matter. The aluminium body and dual scale markings make it a practical tool to keep close by for framing, cutting preparation and angle checking.

Used by carpenters, roofers and general trades, it suits rafter work, framing jobs and day-to-day joinery where quick, repeatable marking is needed. It is also handy for DIY repairs and home building projects such as shed work, stud walls and basic timber fitting. When working on boards or sheet material, the square shape gives a simple reference for checking lines before cutting or assembling.

The 8in x 12in size gives a good balance between coverage and easy handling, so it is straightforward to use on site or in the workshop without being awkward to carry around. Aluminium construction keeps the square practical for regular use, while the dual scales help with quick reading during layout work. For repeated timber marking and measuring, having both scale readings on one square helps keep setting out simple and reduces the need to reach for extra measuring tools.
