1218 The Traveler Framing Square

The 1218 Traveler promises to be your go-to-square for quick and effortless layout in the shop or in the field. The tongue to body length ratios make it an extremely well-balanced square large enough to assure accurate layout, while small enough to wield comfortably in your hands for both layout and as a gauging square to check the squareness of stock and accuracy of layout. Once you begin using the 1218 Traveler you'll wonder how you ever got by without it

The Traveler is made of durable 304 stainless steel and is deeply etched with the patented Chappell Universal rafter tables. The model number refers to the length of the tongue and body in inches. Ideal for general layout and the perfect square for throwing in your tool box or back pack when you're working on the road.

Save Time—Make Money
Quality work takes time and costs money. With the Chappell Square you will save hours of time on each project simply because it will do away with hours of head-scratching—allowing you to get right to work, complete the job, and get home to your family to finish the treehouse or clubhouse you promised to build with your kids. The time saved, and money made in the first day of use laying out and cutting a compound roof system will likely be greater than the cost of the square, and your kids will be happier for it.

And that's just the beginning!

A wealth of knowledge in the palm of your hand
The Traveler framing square has proven to be one of the handiest squares in the Chappell Square line. It's a perfect complement to its big brother, the Master Framer, and an ideal layout tool on its own whether in the shop or on the road. The patented rafter tables allows for unprecedented layout versatility, allowing you to make every project your masterpiece—by putting a wealth of knowledge in the palm of your hand.

No Batteries, No Brainer
The Traveler is not just a square, it's a Powerful Calculator—and NO batteries required!!! With only a pencil and a scrap piece of wood even the first-time builder will be able to lay out and cut the most complex, compound roof system. When you're through with your project, simply put it on the shelf and it will be there the next time you need to build a roof system, no recharging, software upgrades or batteries required.

Forgot your calculator at home?
No problem!—With the Chappell Square, all you need is a pencil and a scrap piece of wood to make simple multiplication and addition calc's on-the-fly.

Don't know how to use CAD to determine cut angles? Or tired of being bleary eyed from staring at your computer screen trudging through CAD?
No Problem!—The Chappell Square allows you to get right-to-work actually building—no time wasted twisting your mind in abstract thought—as all rotational angles and length factors for virtually any complex roof system are deeply and indelibly etched in easy-to-calculate decimal format into the body and blade. It's as simple to use as a connect the dots drawing for any preschooler.

NO BATTERIES REQUIRED

Never again worry about forgetting what you know or trying to memorize random concepts—the Chappell Square has your back when it comes to building complex roof system.

Just like the Sumerian cuneiform tablets, there's good odds the Chappell Square will be around and functional 6000 years from now—thanks in part to the Stainless Steel Made in USA, no moving parts, no maintenance, and NO UPGRADES REQUIRED.
