Laying out stair stringers with a set of cheap stair gauges can be challenging. The radiused edge of the stair stringer can cause you to guess where the tread and riser marks intersect.
This can throw off the gauges as you slide them along the stringer. Also the gauges small adjustment knobs make it easy to knock them out of position. Our Deluxe Stair Gauge solves all these problems, making your stair layouts quicker and more accurate!
Our Deluxe Stair Gauge tool features 1" long "legs", allowing you to make a short layout line at a right angle to the tread and riser line. In addition, these legs eliminate this guessing where the tread and riser marks intersect and makes it easy to index the square precisely to the next position.
Our 3/8" thick gauge body indexes against the edge of the stringer. This provides double the bearing surface of most gauges. and is not affected by the radiused edge of the stringer! Fits any steel or aluminum framing square (sold separately).
Easy to use large diameter knobs with brass screws hold the stair gauge firmly in position. Also includes a 24" long aluminum fence (optional use) to span voids and damaged edges. Plus it connects the two Deluxe Stair Gauges together providing extra insurance against getting knocked out of position.
- Works on stair angles as low as 26° — 4° lower than standard gauges
- 3/8" thick body gives 2× the bearing surface, unaffected by radiused stringer edges
- 1" legs create a right-angle reference line at every layout point — no guesswork
- Fits any framing square with a blade up to 0.125" thick
- Large-diameter brass knobs lock securely and resist accidental bumps
- Includes 24" aluminum fence to span voids and link both gauges

I had a similar stair gauge given to me 15 years ago. I use it to build stairs with Habitat for Humanity. Unfortunately we had a break-in at our site a few weeks ago, and my stair gauge was stolen among, other things.
I assumed I could easily find another one just like it. But, it took me awhile to find anything close to it at “Woodhaven”. I had to use the old stair gauge knobs while looking for a replacement and hated it. The diagonal part of this really makes the job easier - and it’s what I’m used to. I really wish I could have my old/stolen tool back, but this will do the job for me.
Fast shipping!
Nice and easy to use. Accurate results
Well worth the price and most definitely a great tool to have for laying out stairs.
Still need a brain to make great stairs but this tool takes out most of the variables. In my senior RV Park I’m a real stair cutting hero.
