I bought 1 of those calculators yesterday and just watching yt videos on how to use it, Your video is excellent at explaining how to use it and as a carpenter myself it is an amazing tool, anyone one in construction should buy one , I am not being paid for this hahaah, Thank you Sir for a great video

[@Caliber8Tools]

Hey, appreciate that.

[@barrysmith8193]

I have three of these calculators. One in my office. One in my brief case/truck. One at home. I’ve just retired from owning a design/build luxury home company for 38 years. I use these from creation of my design thoughts to turning of the key in the final home completion. They have made me millions. Don’t hesitate if you don’t have one.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Please do more videos on construction master 5 calculators. There more info( # of studs per length of wall) on these calculators and your videos are very helpful and easy to follow

[@Caliber8Tools]

Noted. Glad it helped.

[@Mokelso78]

Thanks for the information. Very thorough.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Great tutorial. BTW, you can buy the app for your smart phone for $30 or less and it is identical with full functionality plus you are likely to always have it on you.

[@fernandosanchez-qx3ys]

hello there I have a ? so when I go to calculate a common rafter with like a 7" pitch do I have to add the HAP to my rise so it sits properly...

[@Caliber8Tools]

If I’m not mistaken, yes.

[@leonardohuerta7937]

Thanks brother for your information 👊

[@Caliber8Tools]

Your’re welcome sir. Glad it helped.

[@traskforcenick7885]

great video ! BTW wouldn't span and run be different on your roof framing diagram? Wouldn't the run be half the span for that diagram?

[@Caliber8Tools]

Yes, the run is half of the span.

[@paulyoull5472]

Hi there, great instructional video. I’m from the UK and some of our roof pitches are given in degrees of pitch rather than the 12 scale. Does this calculator allow you to input the pitch in degrees? Thanks

[@Caliber8Tools]

This version can give you values in degrees when it comes to finding arc degrees(circles, arcs). You may have to convert the degrees back to the rise on this version for slopes. The Construction Master Pro has more functions for slopes.

[@briangordon1767]

You can enter pitch in degrees for working in metric oR as inch rise per foot of run or even toggle between the two if you want I would highly recommend down loading this cal as an app on your phone if your working on roof's it pays for its self on day one

[@Eridan3766]

Great info. Just a note, run is 1/2 the span. Span should be divided by 2 for the run.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Thanks for the tip.

[@UberTinySchool]

Do you guys in the US only use calculators with the imperial system in the construction industry? Is it possible to use a scientific and still work?

[@Caliber8Tools]

Yes it is possible.

[@JAllen01]

Spent my hole life doing it without a special calculator but this makes me feel like a caveman discovering fire

[@100x2xp]

What is the name of the intro song?

[@Caliber8Tools]

Don’t know.

[@coolman8336]

Good explanation great video

[@Caliber8Tools]

Appreciate the feedback.

[@RM-lk1so]

Loved the info. Knew about the construction master many years ago. Once again after several years out of the carpentry trade, i find myself back in it. That said, im still honing my math skills. BUT....the stair values dont match the same as in your video. I put a Rcl value in it the other day for stairs. Now i cant seem to remove that number and get back to the default value. Please help

I think I'm a little confused with the diameter example. If you have a 6ft deep hole with a 24 inch diameter it would not be 4.6 cubic yards to fill. I believe you should've multiple the depth not the height of the pole.

[@Esparks199X]

I noticed that too. You are correct. You would also need to subtract the pole volume in the hole.

[@elsuperpollo2273]

I enjoyed this thank you, I'm just a diy guy, using on of these would keep you from not off by a c.h. "c*nt hair"

[@Caliber8Tools]

Glad it helped.

[@matmalette]

Great Video really but the music is dangerously bad

[@Caliber8Tools]

Noted.

[@MegaRiffraff]

👍🏻

[@davidbusari]

I need this. If you have 3 pls give me 1

[@Caliber8Tools]

Lol.

[@kurtpierson3228]

Roof calculation are wrong. You have to find half of you span half of 20ft = 10ft subtract half of your ridge which is usually a 2x8 or 7 1/4" x 1 1/2” so 10ft- 3/4in =9' 11 1/4" that's your run . Also concrete for the hole the for the pole would not be times 40ft it would be times 6ft because that's how far the pole is in the ground. Obvious this guy has no field experience probably just read the instruction manual
