Chappell Master Framing Square Unequal Pitched Roof Review


In this blog/article I'm taking the Chappell Master Framing Square for a test drive for accuracy using the Unequal Pitched Roof Rafter Tables imprinted on the stainless steel carpenters framing square.












We'll use an Eave angle of 90° with an 12:12 major pitch (B)and an minor pitch of 9:12 (A).



This drawing is a French Compagnon Roof Framing Kernel drawn in 2D and 3D. The 2D geometric drawing of the French Compagnon Roof Framing Kernel is two tetrahedrons unfolded. Checking the 2D & 3D geometric drawing angles against the Chappell Master Framing Square clearly shows how accurate the unequal pitched roof rafter tables are on the Chappell Master Framing Square. This unequal pitched roof is an 12/12 and 9/12 with an eave angle of 90°.

Minor Purlin Miter Angle = 24.22774° tan: 0.45 (line 7 on the square)



The only roof framing angle missing on the Chappell Master Framing Square is the hip rafter side cut angle. However, you can set your saw blade bevel angle to the plan angle of the roof pitch to produce the side cut angle on the hip rafter.




This drawing is a tetrahedron slice of the hip rafter side cut angle at the ridge for the 12/12 side of the hip rafter.
