1904-0700 SQUARE RAFTER ALUM EZ READ 7IN

Overview

The Johnson 1904-0700 Square Rafter Alum EZ Read 7in (1904-0700) is designed for layout, marking, and saw-guiding applications in framing, roofing, and general carpentry trades.

Technical Features

• EZ-Read™ Anti-Glare Finish: A proprietary protective coating that diffracts sunlight rather than reflecting it, ensuring legible markings in direct sun and shaded conditions alike.
• Increased Surface Friction: The EZ-Read™ finish raises friction between the square and lumber, stabilizing the tool when used as a saw guide and reducing slippage during cuts.
• Solid Aluminum Body Construction: Full aluminum build provides durability and resistance to jobsite wear while keeping the tool lightweight for repeated use.
• CNC Machined Edges: Precision-machined edges ensure consistent, accurate readings and reliable 90° reference angles every time.
• Continuous Scribing Notches: Integrated notches are sized for ripping at 3-1/2 in. and 5-1/2 in., aligning directly with common dimensional lumber widths.
• 2x4 Dimension Markers: Dedicated markers at 1-1/2 in., 3 in., and 3-1/2 in. provide instant reference points for standard 2x4 board dimensions, accelerating layout work.

Applications

• Rafter layout and roof framing, where accurate angle references and anti-glare legibility are critical in outdoor conditions.
• Dimensional lumber scribing and ripping at standard widths of 3-1/2 in. and 5-1/2 in. using the continuous scribing notches.
• General framing and carpentry layout requiring a fixed, non-adjustable square with precise 90° reference.
• Saw guiding along lumber, where the high-friction EZ-Read™ finish holds the square firmly in position during cuts.
• 2x4 board marking and spacing using the integrated dimensional markers.
