Stanley 45-011 24 in. Premium Aluminum Rafter Square

The Stanley 45-011 24 in. Premium Aluminum Rafter Square is a full-size framing square for rafter layout, stair layout and general framing. It is made from extra-thick aircraft-grade aluminum with a 24 x 2 in. body and a 16 x 1-1/2 in. tongue. Deep graduations are filled in yellow for contrast against the black lacquered, corrosion-resistant finish, making markings easy to read in bright or low light. Rafter, brace, octagon and board tables are printed on the square for quick calculations on the job. The high-contrast markings and built-in tables help reduce layout errors when cutting rafters and stair stringers on the job. The deep, yellow-filled graduations are easier to read than stamped markings alone, and the extra-thick aluminum resists bending during daily use.

Stanley 45-011 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I lay out stair stringers with the Stanley 45-011 rafter square?
Yes. The 24 in. body and 16 in. tongue give you both rise and run on the same tool, which is what stringer layout needs. The square also carries rafter, brace, octagon and board tables printed right on it, so the rafter math is on the tool rather than in a phone.
2) Is an aluminum framing square as good as a steel one for daily framing work?
For repeated layout over a long day, the aluminum body is lighter than a comparable steel square, and this one is made from extra-thick aircraft-grade aluminum so it resists bending in normal use. The black lacquered finish is corrosion resistant, which matters on a square that lives in a truck bed or gets used outside. Steel squares are heavier; if weight in the hand all day is the issue, aluminum is the trade-off carpenters usually make.
3) What reference tables are printed on the Stanley 45-011 square?
Four: rafter, brace, octagon and board tables. The rafter table gives common and hip/valley lengths for stepping off cuts, the brace table covers diagonal bracing, the octagon table lays out eight-sided work from a square blank, and the board table estimates board feet for takeoffs. Useful if you are pricing lumber on site as well as cutting it.
4) Can I use this square to check whether a door or window opening is square during framing?
Yes, that is one of its everyday uses. With a 24 in. body and 16 in. tongue you can seat it into a corner and read any out-of-square across a long enough leg to catch a small error, then mark square cuts on the lumber to correct it. Checking corners during framing and marking square cuts are both listed applications for the 45-011.
5) Are the markings on the Stanley 45-011 readable in low light or on dusty framing lumber?
The graduations are cut deep and filled in yellow, set against a black lacquered background. That contrast is what makes them legible in bright sun or in a dim basement, and deep filled marks stay readable longer than stamped-only markings once sawdust and grime build up.
6) What is the correct part number to order the Stanley 24 in. premium aluminum rafter square?
Order Stanley model 45-011. That is the 24 in. premium aluminum rafter/framing square with the 24 x 2 in. body and 16 x 1-1/2 in. tongue. There is one configuration, so there is no finish, size or handing choice to specify.
