*Model RS 18 from SOLA, robust workshop tool

Faster, more accurate layout for timber work

The compact design delivers repeatable results when laying out rafters, joists or simple framing tasks. Thanks to the 185 mm leg and a clearly marked graduated scale, the tool simplifies transfer of 90° cuts and intermediate measurements, reducing setup time on the bench or at the worksite. The measured markings are easy to read, supporting consistent cuts and fewer re-works — a practical efficiency advantage for small workshops and trade professionals.

Lightweight construction that improves handling

Made from aluminium, the square combines stability with low mass, making it comfortable to handle during extended use. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue when performing repeated measurements or when working at height, while the material’s natural corrosion resistance keeps the tool functional in busy, humid or dusty environments. This balance of durability and portability helps maintain a steady workflow without compromising on precision.

Clear angle range for versatile applications

A 0°–90° angle range enables both right-angle checks and common rafter-marking operations without additional equipment. The straightforward angle indication supports both layout and verification tasks, meaning fewer tool changes and a more streamlined process. For tasks that demand consistent geometry—such as stair stringers or hip rafter layouts—the integrated scale ensures that marking and checking are efficient and reliable.

Robust everyday tool for the workshop

Model RS 18 from SOLA is designed as a practical workshop implement rather than a precision laboratory instrument. Its combination of a sturdy aluminium body, readable graduations and compact footprint makes it a useful addition to a joiner’s or carpenter’s standard kit. Maintenance is minimal: a quick wipe removes debris and sawdust, keeping the graduated scale legible and the square ready for the next layout job.
