📐The framing square and stair gauges are essential tools for building stairs accurately.
✂️Set the stair gauge to the desired rise and run of the stairs for precise measurements.
📏Use the framed square to mark the stringer, representing the tread and riser dimensions.
✅Cut along the marked lines to build a perfect set of stairs with no margin for error.
🗂️Keep the stair gauge handy for future stair building projects for consistent results.
What is a framing square?
—A framing square is a triangular-shaped tool with multiple markings and measurements to help with various carpentry tasks.
What are stair gauges used for?
—Stair gauges are used to set the desired rise and run of the stairs on a framing square, allowing for accurate stair building.
Why is accuracy important in stair building?
—Accurate stair building ensures safety and stability when using the stairs, as any slight mismatch can lead to tripping hazards.
Can I use the same technique for different rise and run measurements?
—Yes, you can adjust the stair gauge and framing square to match the desired rise and run for different stair dimensions.
Do I need any other tools for stair building?
—Along with the framing square and stair gauges, you may need additional tools such as a circular saw for cutting the stringers.
