This video will provide you with a simple mathematic.
One of these tools will allow you to lay out consistent precise angles down the length of the board.
Use a framing square to trace the stair pattern on your stringer board.
Lay a framing square flat on the board so that the horizontal blade aligns with the top edge of the board at the length of the tread and the vertical blade is aligned at the length of the riser.
I am building a set of stairs that is going to a platform that is only about 4 ft high.
I am about to trace them out on the wood and assumed that i should use 2x10 wood but i m second guessing myself and thinking maybe i should use 2x12 wood for the stringers.
Measure 7 inches 18 cm from the center of the square on one arm to set the rise and 10 11 inches 25 28 cm on the other arm for the run.
The stringers must be cut to fit the stair opening in length and in width with the riser cuts plumb and the tread cuts level when the stairs are in place.
