Adjustable aluminium rafter square M203.043 — black anodised, adjustable stop

The Adjustable aluminium rafter square M203.043 is a compact layout tool for marking angles and rafters on timber and sheet materials, designed for carpenters, joiners and site work.

• Adjustable stop for repeatable layout
• Black anodised aluminium construction
• Compact 185 mm length for portability
• Suitable for angles 0–90° and rafter marking

Durable, lightweight construction that speeds routine marking

The body is made from black anodised aluminium, which offers a good balance of rigidity and corrosion resistance while keeping the tool lightweight at around 0.2 kg. This reduces fatigue when moving between workpieces and makes the tool simple to carry in a pocket or small kit. The low mass does not compromise stiffness for short-span layout tasks; the compact form is especially suited to tight spaces where larger squares are cumbersome. For repetitive marking jobs, the combination of material and design contributes to faster, more ergonomic working cycles and fewer measurement interruptions.

Repeatable, adjustable stop for precise angle and rafter layout

An adjustable stop with a contact face of 22 x 4.7 mm provides a defined datum for repetitive marks. The stop is engineered to hold a set position so that identical cuts and scribe lines can be transferred quickly across multiple members. The tool covers angle marking from 0–90° and rafter marking increments typically used in roof carpentry, which supports consistent joinery and reduces rework. In practice, the adjustable stop transforms a simple square into a small production jig for batches of identical rafters or bevels, saving time on layout and helping to maintain uniformity across assemblies.

Practical features for carpentry, joinery and site use

The square is configured for direct layout of mm dimensions and includes markings and geometry suitable for Gratsparren and common rafter profiles (marking range 1–30). Its compact 185 mm overall length makes it easy to manoeuvre in confined work areas, and the tool’s straightforward handling suits both seasoned tradespeople and apprentices. The black anodised finish not only resists wear but also reduces surface glare under strong site lighting, improving visibility of scribed lines. This tool is a pragmatic choice where quick, repeatable layout beats the need for larger drafting squares.
