Layout tool for use with a framing square
An attachment tool for framing squares. The tool is made of a pair of straight members that are fastened together with a space therebetween. Each of the members has a pair of horizontal grooves that are aligned. A fasteners is positioned within each of the grooves to lock a framing square in place once the desired setting have been determined. The tool has markings on each face that are used to establish angles for desired cuts. Using pivot points that are placed on the tool, the framing square can be set at one point and the pivoted to the desired angle using the markings on the tool without having to calculate anything. In this way, many different types of building members including: rafters, trusses and stairs can be laid out, marked and cut with minimal error and optimal efficiency.
