Johnson Level Tool CS5 Aluminum Carpenter Square 16x24 in

Product Description

The JOHNSON LEVEL TOOL CS5 is a 16-inch by 24-inch aluminum carpenter square built for layout and framing work on the job site. The body is machined from aluminum with an anodized finish that resists rust and corrosion, making it a reliable layout tool in wet or outdoor conditions. Numbers and scales are permanently stamped into the metal — not printed or painted — so markings stay legible through heavy use. The square ships as a single unit and weighs 0.3 pounds, keeping it light enough for all-day handling without sacrificing rigidity.

This carpenter square is suited for residential and light commercial framing, roofing layout, stair stringers, and general carpentry. It is a standard framing square used by carpenters, framers, and general contractors. The included reference tables — rafter tables, brace tables, octagon scales, and board foot tables — are stamped directly onto the body, giving the installer quick on-tool reference without carrying separate charts or looking up values in the field.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction with anodized finish resists rust and corrosion
• Permanently stamped numbers and scales for lasting legibility
• Rafter tables stamped on body for on-site roof framing calculations
• Brace tables for quick diagonal brace length reference
• Octagon scales for laying out eight-sided figures
• Board foot tables for lumber volume calculations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16-inch by 24-inch framing square compatible with typical carpentry, framing, and roofing layout applications where a full-size aluminum rafter square is required.

Installation Notes

The CS5 is a layout and measurement tool installed and used by carpenters, framers, and roofers — no power tools, fasteners, or code permits are required for its use. Keep the square clean and free of debris to maintain accurate 90-degree reference edges. Inspect the body periodically for bends or warping that could affect layout accuracy, and store flat to prevent deformation.
