Questions & Answers
Does this still have the 1/12th inch marking mistake? 1/12th inch is clearly a cultural misunderstanding, no one needs or wants that.
Where is the square made
This product is made in the USA.
Do you have a manual to show you how to use it?
No but there are plenty of you tube videos .
empirelevel.com/usermanual - this is printed on the speed square. All kinds of videos and instruction online also
how do I get a 22.5 angel cut on a 2x4
Trying to eyeball 22.5 on the degree scale may be accurate enough but if you use the 5 on the common pitch scale (bottom of the slot) that will get you right there, perhaps a little more accurately.
Mark from the pivot line to the middle of the 22 and 23 degree hash mark on the outside diagonal edge where those numbers all represent angles from 0 to 90 degrees. They are labeled in increments of 5. So just draw a line starting at your pivot mark to the angle you’re looking for and draw a line straight through from one point to the other.
Begin by using your square to draw a 90 degree line across your 2x4 next use your square to draw a 45 degree line across the 2x4 measure down from the 90 degree line to the 45 degree line. Make a mark 1/2 way between the two. starting at the original apex, draw a line to the new mark in the center. that will be 22.5 degrees.
Hold the "pivot" corner on the parallel 2x4. Pivot that point till the 22.5 degrees shows on the long angle line and mark it on the inch scale as in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAilvHrOTsU
What is the guage or thickness of the aluminum?
approximately 2.5 mm; slightly less than 1/8"
3 mm thick, or 8-9 gauge aluminum.
Can this device be used to find the square root of 2? Also, can you tell me what the sqrt(2) equals? Thanks!!!
Si esta bien
I believe you have your question on the wrong product. This is a rafter square, not a calculator.
Sure can but a calculator is easier and quicker. Try it.
Yes, it does square roofs.
Haha, you're dang right it can if you're qualified to use it. Your answer is 1.414214 :)
At the end of the day i noticed that the Sq. Seemed a little bowed
I have 3or 4 framing sq.they all have small bends. We just bend back straight.as long as edge along the 16 inch and 24 inch are straight where you mark your lines with pencil that’s all that matters. I’am sure Home Depot would trade out for you but it will do the same. I would just bend back straight in just be careful with it if it bothers you because they bend really easily. They also made in steel which are a lot stronger but they will rust pretty quick then you cannot see numbers. You have the best that will last a very long if you take of it.
The normal empire picks lasers up fine jus wondering if the blue does thank you!
Yeah the blue picks it up perfectly.
Very easy to use for a (speed) square. I like it better than that one.(speed square)
Yes it does very well reading a laser off of it
my red laser shows up on mine don't know about the green
