A tool designed to simplify the process of planning and marking the supporting framework for a staircase, the device assists in determining accurate measurements and positions for each step. For instance, it computes the rise and run of each step based on the total rise and desired angle of the staircase, generating a template for cutting the stringer.
Accurate stair construction is crucial for safety and code compliance. Employing a specific method streamlines the creation of consistent, structurally sound staircases. Historically, builders relied on manual calculations and potentially error-prone measurements. The modern method offers increased precision and reduced labor time, minimizing the risk of miscalculations that could compromise the stability or comfort of the finished stairs.
