The TrigJig Grafter 180 redefines layout accuracy for professional framers and roofers. CNC milled from a single, solid piece of 4mm T6 aluminum plate in the UK, this metric rafter square delivers an extreme right-angle precision of +/- 0.008° along its entire length. Unlike mass-produced cast squares, the Grafter 180 integrates a highly sensitive 360° bubble vial directly into the dual-sided anodized fence, allowing tradesmen to find level and plumb marks instantly without reaching for secondary tools.

The Pro's Equation: Precision Without Compromise

In structural framing and high-end roofing, measurement slop dictates the difference between a seamless fit and costly timber waste. Cheap, stamped squares introduce micro-errors that compound over large spans. The Grafter 180 eliminates this margin of error completely. Featuring stepped stud-off notches for precise pencil marking and highly abrasion-resistant laser-etched scales, it ensures every mark is fast, repeatable, and deadly accurate. By investing in this British-engineered precision instrument, professionals drastically reduce layout downtime and prevent expensive rework, making it a critical, tax-deductible asset for high-performance crews.

Why Pros Choose the TrigJig Grafter 180:

  • Unmatched Accuracy: CNC-milled construction guarantees a strict +/- 0.008° right-angle precision.

  • Integrated Spirit Level: A built-in 360° bubble vial allows for instant plumb and level checks during layout.

  • Extreme Durability: Bright white, laser-etched markings offer extreme abrasion resistance against daily job site wear.

  • Smarter Scribing: Features stepped stud-off notches and 5mm scribe notches to account for marking medium thickness.

  • Roofing Ready: Includes a comprehensive rafter length per metre of run table and a dedicated birdsmouth line.

How durable are the markings on the TrigJig Grafter 180?

The markings are highly durable and designed for heavy commercial use. They are deeply laser-etched in bright white against the anodized aluminum finish, providing extreme abrasion resistance to ensure they will not rub off easily during harsh job site conditions.

Can I use this square to check plumb and level directly?

Yes. The Grafter 180 is uniquely designed with an integrated 360° bubble vial built directly into the CNC-machined fence. This allows professional framers to immediately check level and plumb marks without needing to carry a separate torpedo level.

Is this square optimized for metric roofing calculations?

Absolutely. It is fully engineered for the metric system, featuring a 182mm main rule, a dedicated rafter length per metre of run table, 1/3rd scribe marks for common timber widths, and scribe notches every 5mm for rapid parallel marking.
