The CalcuSlope Precision Scale was developed and designed with the knowledge obtained from over twenty five years of experience in the engineered wood and construction industry.
This instrument was created with one objective in mind, which is to take the most common daily required formulas and data needed for problem solving in our industry, as well as a measurement scale and combine it all in to one compact product.
This instrument holds a vast amount of information which designers, salespeople, contractors and estimators can easily refer to for day-to-day problem solving.
The benefits provided by the CalcuSlope Precision Scale will enhance the performance of your current technical & sales staff, as well as assist new employees "learning the ropes".
Complete instructions are included with each CalcuSlope Precision Scale purchased.
The CalcuSlope Precision Scale is designed and manufactured in Canada from high quality durable Lexan.

ROOF AREA CALCULATION:
» Quick & easy SLOPE~FACTOR table for finding out what the required coverage area is when ordering roofing materials at one of several different roof slopes.
"VIEW-THRU" SLOPE WINDOW:
» Just lay the CalcuSlope Precision Scale on top of your blueprints and get an instant confirmation of roof slopes with the "view-thru" window.
» Fast on-site roof slope verification for trusses, I-joists, sheathing, shingles etc. without having to crawl up in an attic space or tear apart the soffits & overhangs at a jobsite. Just stand back from the building & look thru the "view-thru" window for instant results.
CUT LENGTH CALCULATION:
» Makes it easy to obtain a cut length for sloping roof joists in any one of 4 joist depths or a sloping length for ordering metal roofing material. This is also a fantastic aid while in the design stages of roof trusses & I-joists.
1/4" AND 1/8" SCALE:
» Pre-marked with 16" & 19.2" spacing indicator lines for fast product takeoffs.
19.2" JOIST LAYOUT TABLE:
» This table gives you an easy "running" measurement that will speed up the on-site installation of joists or rafters spaced at 19.2" o/c.
METRIC CONVERSION:
» Most common formula for converting blueprint measurements from millimetres to feet.
BOARD FOOT CONVERSION:
» Quick reference table for linear foot to board foot conversions.
SLOPE / ANGLE TABLE:
» Quick reference table for finding the equivalent angle for several different roof slopes.
TRIGONOMETRY FORMULAS:
» Simplified formulas for finding SLOPE, RISE, BASE and DIAGONAL lengths without the need for special expensive calculators.
» Aids in many aspects of drafting, design or estimating.
DECIMAL CONVERSION:
» This table provides you with the most common fraction to decimal conversions at a glance.
