To help carpenters and builders cut their roof rafters quicker and more accurate we are striving to make available through this website: 1 cutting guide tool and 2 saw base kits.
*** We need a fabricating partner for the various kits. If you are interested please contact us.
An order link should be set up as soon as we have a consistent supply available.

1)
The Roof Cutter's Birdsmouth Cutting Guide Tool This hand held guide allows folks who hand cut their 2x common rafters with a regular wormdrive circular saw, to make the birdsmouth's seat-cut quickly without the need to mark or follow a cut-line. This guide tool also automatically accomplishes the difficult task of transferring the common rafter heel-stand correctly to the hip/valley rafter. The unit is fully adjustable between 4/12 - 12/12 roof pitch for both common and hip/valley rafters. It can be used with 2x8, 2x10, and 2x12 material.

2)
The Roof Cutter's Swing Table saw base kit This kit installs on a standard Skil model 77 or 5860 wormdrive circular saw. It allows these saws to swing well past the standard 45 degree limit and make the very shallow angled seat-cut pass during the production gang-style cutting of common and hip jack rafter birdsmouths. For a video on how to assemble and install the kit on your Skilsaw click HERE.
