OX Pro Aluminium Metric Rafters Square 180mm
Achieve precise measurements and accurate layouts with the OX Pro Aluminium Metric Rafters Square 180mm. Designed for professional roofers, carpenters, joiners and builders, this heavy-duty roofing square combines exceptional accuracy with outstanding durability to help you complete every job with confidence.
Unlike standard stamped steel squares, the OX Pro Rafter Square features an extra-thick anodised extruded aluminium body that delivers superior strength while resisting rust, corrosion and everyday jobsite wear. As a result, it remains accurate even after repeated use in demanding working environments.
Furthermore, the laser-etched metric markings provide outstanding clarity and remain easy to read throughout the tool's working life. Consequently, you can mark and measure quickly without the risk of worn or faded graduations reducing accuracy. The laser-etched finish also offers up to twice the accuracy of traditional stamped markings.
Moreover, the integrated scribe notches allow fast, repeatable marking at 5mm increments, helping you speed up repetitive layout work on rafters, joists, battens and timber framing. In addition, the built-in rise-and-run conversion tables simplify roof layout calculations, making the square an invaluable tool for roofing and framing projects.
The extra-wide base sits securely against timber edges and straight materials, allowing the square to double as a reliable saw guide. Therefore, you can achieve straighter cuts while improving both speed and consistency across every project. Whether you're setting out roof rafters, marking stair stringers or framing timber structures, the OX Pro Aluminium Metric Rafters Square delivers professional accuracy every time.
