Master Complex Roof Rafter Layouts and Achieve Flawless Squareness on the Jobsite

Streamline your framing, stair stringer layouts, and rafter calculations with the professional-grade precision of the Empire E1190 16 in. x 24 in. True Blue® Laser Etched Framing Square. Specifically designed for general construction contractors, finish carpenters, roofers, and master woodworkers, this heavy-duty layout layout tool completely replaces easily blurred printed markings with permanent, high-contrast laser-etched graduations. Forged from an advanced, lightweight structural aluminum alloy, this carpenter's square delivers exceptional jobsite durability and ease of handling without causing wrist strain during all-day layout production. The anodized protective shell completely shields the tool body against rust, scratching, and chemical corrosion, maintaining flawless edge flatness over years of punishing outdoor field service.

Speed and uncompromised accuracy define the structural layout workflow of this professional measurement device. The square is equipped with Empire's proprietary ARC-SCRIBE® marking guide pattern, providing builders with an intuitive, built-in solution for tracing smooth, uniform radii paths on sheet goods, lumber framing, and drywall. The blade faces are fully optimized with fractional laser-etched graduations broken down to 1/8", 1/10", 1/12", and 1/16" increments for maximum legibility in low-light environments or intense, glaring direct sunlight. Complete with standard permanent rafter and bracing conversion tables laser-fused onto the body for rapid calculations on the fly, this master framing square eliminates guesswork and keeps your framing crews working with total confidence.

Key Features

• Permanent Laser-Etched Markings: High-visibility measurement numbers are deeply etched into the metal surface to prevent wearing off from abrasive field use.
• ARC-SCRIBE® Radius Guide: Features integrated radius reference indicators to deliver an accurate, fast solution for marking circles and arc details on site.
• Anodized Industrial Aluminum Body: High-tensile lightweight aluminum frame will never rust, corrode, or warp when exposed to wet jobsite elements.
• Multi-Scale High-Contrast Graduations: Includes precise 1/8", 1/10", 1/12", and 1/16" micro-graduations to cover all residential and commercial drafting specifications.
• Laser-Fused Conversion Matrix: Back panel features complete conversion data and rafter tables for rapid layout planning without checking external charts.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: To achieve absolute precision when laying out identical stair stringer rises or rafter cuts across an entire lumber batch, lock down a set of brass framing square gauges (or stair gauges) directly onto the 16" and 24" blades of your E1190 square. This locks in your exact rise-and-run dimensions, allowing you to slide the square seamlessly down the timber beam to trace continuous, highly repeatable cut lines without repositioning or miscalculating the fractional increments between passes.
