Speed squares are just one fo the most essential tools in the kit. With a speed square, a circular saw, and a pencil you can get so much done so efficiently it's ridiculous
Well the issue is speed, in this application I would have a saw set up anywhere a saw horse can be set up. Now working at height or where a drop chord beat moving equipment around yea I use them and it’s a good trick, you can also use two speed clamps for rough application if you don’t have the gauge
. I have significantly more than zero mechanical ability (on a logarithmic scale, I'm a four, but there's people with way, way more than I have) AND I own a Speed square and a circular saw, but I didn't know this, or what a stair gauge was. I'm going to buy a couple of stair gauges now. Just like there's all levels of knowledge about a subject, there's all manner of "I didn't know that" at any level.
When you’re making straight cuts, you put the square the other way that way when you push, it’s locking the square into the board, not pushing it off of the board.
@@dannyzelaya251 on any circular saw I’ve ever ran battery or corded the bump out on the square has never interfered with the underneath of the saw having the square pushed against the workpiece
Unless you are just starting, you would get left off a job if you did that for every cut…. If you can’t cut a board like that straight, maybe you should reevaluate what you’re doing
@@brucejones8749 the thing about framing thats important for beginners to know is that the cut doesnt have to be perfectly straight Close enough is good enough.
I don’t understand any of the words that came out of your mouth. But I’m choosing to engage with this video to help the algorithm push it out just in case there is someone who would understand and could use this information.😊
Yes and no if you have a shitty saw or bent blade trying to keep that thing on a straight line can get a little reckless it'll be close but if you use your speed square it doesn't hop around as much
@@kaknuEveryone has that day/or job when tools are not optimal. Maybe your unskilled/greehorn workers (or you) miss a rafter hook and drop a saw, someone drives off with it on the tail gate, or your just working in the boonies and a half day trip to the yard is just not economical. Had more than once in 25years of building where you just plug in the old circular wood burner and make it work. Love those giant speed squares!
@northsky5629 lol corded tools are still absolutely necessary. Batteries aren't even close to the same power. Even battery circular saws will tell you they are not for hardwoods. Thats why his saw sounds like shit.
This is what I was thinking, as well. "Here's a trick I bet you've never seen before...". Sir, unless you're going to throw that thing out 50-100 yards, have it curve like a boomerang, and decapitate the crash test dummy standing five feet to your left, I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.
I'm a DIY who grew up around construction. Never saw a stair gauge before. Always just clamped the sleed square if I needed an angle other than 45 or 90, just like my Dad or uncles used to if they really really cared about getting it straight without the miter saw. This is much much more convenient.
I love my speed square. I'm not even a carpenter, I'm a retired auto mechanic, and I use my speed square a lot! I'm pretty sure I'm using it wrong. lol!

One day taking away that debt from me. Now, bear with me… Our common friend has a bucket of apples in his garden. We are allowed to take one to eat when we like. An apple falls down the tree, he always puts it in the bucket. He adds one to the bucket, it is a positive, in math signs “plus”. You or I take one, it is a negative, in math signs “minus” So, taking away something is “a negative” but by taking away my debt of $10,000 one ends up with something “positive”! Hence - Two negative makes a positive! So if do NOT (negative) need NO (negative) speed square = you actually need a speed square as two NO after each other cancel one another out. Kind regards Anders Sweden
I tend to screw up the last inch or so because I'm tall and bending down to see where the blade is in relation to my line while holding the board steady can be hard. Haven't tried this method yet but maybe it will fix my problem.
The saw runs on the fixed speed square makes the cut much more straight than cutting it just by the mark. You should know that if you worked with skill saws

@@davidcrtalic9795 who are you talking too??
Everyone knows to set the proper depth of the blade before you start cutting, and not force the blade through the wood because you didn't.
I was waiting for someone to mention that.
Was the blade set too high, or too low? (I had no idea there was a problem.)

Nice, would've been nice to show the protractor functionality to double check the angle though. 👍
I second this, combo these two methods and you can save yourself ALOT of headaches
