Hultafors is a Swedish quality tool brand. I wish you made this video in Swedish too or had subtitles in Swedish as there are terms in the video that I am not familiar with. The speed square seems like a useful tool but I dont know how to use it....
We work in metric and the dimensions on the Roof plans or drawings are in metric and degrees surely this Square would be of much more practical use if it had the Hip & Val Rafter settings in degrees instead of decimetres! What is going on at Hultafors?
Dude, on the long side of the triangle you have the angle scale. So if your plan includes both different angles then you just mark those angles How hard is it to watch the damn video in which he even first shows the angle scale?
The americans/canadians can use their square too. Forget the decimeters, those indicative numbers can be used in feet and inches. The US framers would refer a roof slope as a 6/12 or 12/12 etc.
Hey I’ve just brought your square abs love it! But I don’t understand where 6 D meters comes from ? Any help would be appreciated! Unless 6D meters mean 600mm?
You know it has legit Swedish origins when desimeter is used. I don't know any other place that uses dm - mostly meters or cm would be used instead. Of course us metrics understand it regardless - beauty of the system.
There are different brands of metric speed squares, and some are "kind of metric", like Milwaukee square I bought. Take a look at common cut number corresponding to 45 degrees. In this video, you read 10 dm / 1m = 1m/1m and it is truly metric. On Milwaukee square I have it is 12, which proofs it is not metric, instead denoted in inches per foot. 12" = 1ft = 1:1 ratio, thus 45 degrees. Maybe this answer helps some confused carpenter's souls ;)
A good video and very well explained! But when we are working in metric the pitch of the roofs and the measurements on the drawings are in metric and degrees, surely it’s best to calculate in metric and degrees and definitely not decimetres!
The best tutorial for speed square on TH-cam!
I just bought this tool and I love it already out of the box. I think it is going to be one of my favourite tools
Literally best short explanatory video i've ever seen
Just got mine today and its not square. Way to go, hope I can get another one that works!
Very well explained 👍 Thank you
Short and sweet.

1:45 So if different inclinations meet, you can only get the hip angle from a reference table?
In my experience it payed off to know a bit about squares!
Awsome tutorial!
Simple and to the point, thank you
This looks like the lufkin square, does hultafors have any exclusive products, looks like there levels are made by sola. Am I right or not?

@@frenchgreguk Good american carpenters uses metrical system as well with no problems.

0.6 M = 6 DM = 60 CM = 600mm
Hultafors vs DeWalt vs swanson?
Thank you
What kinda pen is that
It's a Hultafors Dry Marker: th-cam.com/video/230fioTm3Xg/w-d-xo.html

Rise and run works in base 12. Why is the rise and run decimal? It doesn’t make sense.
cm is in 100, inches 12, that is why.

rise and run works off a base of 1 metre like tan cos ect

I know Woodglut has the best woodworking plans.
Wait. What?
first off.. this is in metric so its already all wrong. inches should be only used unless you want a crooked roof ;)
What if the measurement is like 6.7 decimeters?
good question. i guess you go aproximately
