Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is a rafter square used for?
A rafter square is used to mark and check 90° and 45° angles on timber and other materials. Builders and carpenters use it to lay out roof rafters, guide circular saw cuts, check corners for square, and measure roof pitches. The Wolf WRA180 also includes a conversion table for rafter length calculations.
2. What is the difference between a rafter square and a speed square?
They are essentially the same tool — a rafter square and speed square both refer to the same triangular measuring tool used to mark angles and guide cuts. The terms are often used interchangeably in Australia. The Wolf WRA180 works as both, giving you accurate angle markings and a built-in degree scale for quick roof pitch work.
3. Is the Wolf 180mm Rafter Square good for beginners?
Yes, the Wolf WRA180 is a great choice for beginners. Its laser-etched markings are easy to read, the conversion table takes the guesswork out of rafter maths, and the compact 180mm size is light and easy to handle.
