Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 396 Poly Rafter Square 12 in

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 396 is a 12-inch poly rafter square built for layout and angle marking on job sites where speed and accuracy matter. Cast from lightweight, durable poly material, this square resists the wear and impact common in framing, roofing, and carpentry work. The extra-large 12-inch size spans wider boards, making it easier to mark full rip lines or rafter cuts in a single pass. Conversion tables and graduation scales are molded directly into both faces of the square, keeping critical reference data legible and permanent. Carpenters, framers, and roofing contractors reach for this tool when laying out hip, valley, and common rafter cuts.

This rafter square suits residential and light commercial framing applications, including roof framing, stair layout, and general carpentry. The 12-inch format is especially useful when working with dimensional lumber wider than a standard 2x10 or engineered lumber products where a smaller square falls short. The molded-in scales on both sides reduce the need for a separate reference card on the job site, supporting faster layout in the field.

Key Features

• Extra-large 12-inch size spans wide dimensional and engineered lumber
• Lightweight poly cast construction reduces hand fatigue during extended layout work
• Conversion tables and graduations molded into both sides for permanent, readable reference
• Durable construction stands up to job-site impact and weather exposure
• Suited for rafter layout, stair marking, and general framing cuts

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose rafter square for residential and commercial framing, roofing, and carpentry applications requiring a 12-inch layout tool.

Installation Notes

No power tools or fasteners are required for use. Keep the square clean and free of debris to maintain accurate edge contact against the workpiece. Inspect molded graduations periodically for readability under heavy site conditions. This tool does not require calibration but should be stored flat to prevent warping over time.
