Re: Snap a Diagonal Chalkline

As Jeromechazdoes, I also use the spring clamp method as well as using the spring clamp to hold a speed square in place when measuring a piece that has an angle cut to measure from.Clamp the speed square across the piece[e.g. casing with a 45 degree cut]at the short point and then hook your tape measure to the square to pull a measurement from the short point.
