The framing-square, steelsquare, or two-foot carpentersFig. 13 square, is used like the try-square and is of great value in getting outstock, in laying out work, and in testing work too large for the try-square. It can also be used as a rule (see page 6), as a straight-edge(see page 16), and to set the bevel at different angles (see page 10.)Many computations canbe made by means ofthe figures on the squaring large work,see page 223. 6.
