A try square or try-square is a woodworking tool used for marking and checking 90° angles on pieces of wood.
Q. What is the difference between a try square and a Mitre Square?
A try square is used for checking right angles (90°) and a mitre square is for 45° angles (135° angles are also found on mitre squares because they are created by the 45° intercept). These are different to combination squares which look similar and also measure 90°and 45° angles.

Q. What are 2 uses for an engineer’s square?
It is very similar to a try square in appearance and use, and is mainly used to check a workpiece is ‘square’, (that is, two sides are at 90 degrees to one another). It can also be used to help draw or scribe a line at 90 degrees to the edge of a workpiece.
Q. What is the difference between a try square and an engineers Square?
The engineering square is accurate both inside and outside whereas the try square is accurate only on the inside. The engineering square is made entirely of metal whereas in the try square the stock is made of hardwood.

Each number (21 63, 20 81, 20, 19 21…) is lined up under an inch increment along the top of the blade. The inch increment represents the rise of the roof in inches over a foot of run. For example, if the roof rises 8 inches over one foot of run, the roof rafter needs to be 14.42 inches long per foot of run.
