DeWalt DHT046032 300mm 12in Rafter Layout Square

Roofing and framing demand accuracy that cannot be second guessed. When marking rafters, laying out roof pitches, or guiding circular saw cuts, your square becomes one of the most relied upon tools in your kit. The DeWalt DHT046032 12in Rafter Layout Square is engineered for tradespeople who need strength, clarity, and precision on site.

Manufactured from extra thick extruded aluminium, this rafter square is built to withstand heavy duty jobsite use. Unlike lighter stamped steel alternatives, the solid aluminium body resists bending and maintains its accuracy even when used repeatedly as a saw guide. Its durable construction makes it ideal for carpenters, roofers, joiners and general builders.

The square features stamped in, high contrast graduations that improve visibility and long term durability. Because the markings are stamped rather than simply printed, they resist wear over time, maintaining legibility even after prolonged exposure to site conditions.

Designed specifically for roofing and framing tasks, the square includes clearly marked scales for:

• Common top cuts

• Jack rafters

• Hip rafters

• Valley rafters

A defined pivot point makes angle layout straightforward, allowing quick and accurate marking of roof pitches and structural cuts. Integrated scribe line notches enable consistent marking of rip cuts, especially useful when working with timber boards or sheet materials.

The fixed large base improves grip and stability when placed against material edges, reducing slippage during marking or guiding a saw. Its thickness also allows it to function effectively as a circular saw guide for straight, repeatable cuts.
