[CW] What is a Stair Gauge used for??

[sbjohnston at aol.com]

Sorry should have been clearer:   They are usually used in carpentry with a square (right angle measurement device) to create a fixed triangle shape that you can easily use to make the notches in the boards that hold up a set of stairs.  The repeatable shape helps make all the stair heights and depths exactly the same.

Here' are good videos on the use of the stair gauges...

Hi Guys,



I was reading about using the stair gauge to slow down the CW,



However, I may be the only one on the list that does not know what a stair gauge is "normally" used for.



If you would be so kind at to enlighten a bit further



Please and Thank You,



AND 73,
