Explains a single construction approach, how to plan measurements, and how rafters relate to common roof geometry. Introduces the SPEED square design features, including metric/degree scales, scribe notches, and conversion between angles and decimeter-of-rise per meter-of-run. Covers core roofing terminology (pitch, run, rise, span) and demonstrates marking and cutting procedures for common rafters, supported by diagrams and references to the book’s

rafter cut to fit over the exterioredge of the top plate of the wall.Also,it illustrates theintersection of Hip and Common rafters in relation tothe Ridge Board.  \nGradations:The square is graduated in both a metricscale and a degree scale.  \nTerminology:Although there are many variationsin construction terminology to identify a particularitem,function or process,we have attempted to useone set of terms throughout the book.Therefore itis recommended that the user substitute their termi-nology for the terms used in the book.  \nDiagrams are not drawn to scale.  \nFig.1  \n# “ONE-NUMBERSM METHOD”\n\nThe“ONE-NUMBERSM METHOD”developed bythe Swanson Tool Co.,Inc.simplifies roof framingso that roofs may be framed as easy as wall studs orjoists.  \nFollowing is a brief description of the various raftersand how to achieve the different cuts,how to mea-sure and what is meant by“Run”and “Rise”andinformation on “Hip”and“Valley”rafters,etc.  \nDiagrams are included throughout the book to assistin the use of the SPEED°square for roof constructionand other projects.Remember,Proper planning willsave time and material.\"Measure twice and cut once.\"  \nDESIGN OF THE SQUARE  \nThe square is designed with two sets of scales for theCommon,Hip and Valley rafters(Fig.2).The insidescales with smaller sized numbers are for working withmetric figures,while the outside scales are for workingin degrees.The scale having a full 90°degrees allowsthe user to mark any angle in degrees as well as theangles represented in “*decimeter of rise per meterof run.”You can easily convert degrees to decimeterof rise or vice versa at a glance.The square is markedexactly the same on both sides for use on either sideof the rafter board.There are “Scribe Notches”posi-tioned under the centimeter scale to permit the userto scribe a line up to 14 cm.in width along the lengthof a piece of lumber.The square can also be used as astable guide for an electric saw.The size and features ofthe square lends it to multiple uses within theconstruction industry.  \n*Note:For the purpose of this book we will considerthe metric scales to represent decimeter of riseper meter of run.  \nFig.2  \n◎ 2013

angle at which a com-mon rafter is in relation to the horizontal plane of theRun of a structure.  \nPitch Line:A line running from the exterior edge ofthe Top Plate of the wall to the centerline of the RidgeBoard(Fig.4).  \nRafter Length:The length of the Pitch Line frompoint(a)to point(b)in(Fig.4).  \nSpan:The width of a building,measured from theexterior edge of opposing walls(Fig.4).  \nRun:Equal to one-half the distance of the spanmeasured from the exterior of a wall plate to thecenterline of the structure.(Fig.4).  \nRise:The vertical distance from the intersection of thepitch
