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

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.

Thank you for your teaching, God bless you

[robhillstrom]

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.

Thanks for this video ! I have the Calculated Industries 4080 model on it's way to me. Your video helps a lot.

[Levidadankdad]

Well explained. I like it. I was looking for video for the apprentices and this is the one I will be referring

[caseyjohnson]

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

[Eridan]

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

[cwhelan]

Phenomenally concise and informative video. Thanks.

[ymcdonald]

I greatly appreciate your content it was right on point I loved it keep doing it, Great job.

[traskforcenick]

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?

[Mokelso]

Thanks for the information. Very thorough.

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

[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?

[fernandosanchez-qxys]

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...

[RM-lkso]

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 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"

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.
