      You use your tape in framing all the time. It's blocking it doesn't need to be perfect even though his cuts are all within 3/32nds which is just fine for blocking. If we need to be precise then we will pull out the tape and make it precise

    We often have to do entire walls. Just did a 60'x140' shop with 2 rows of blocking all the way around. I build a jig for that. Takes a minute or 3 to slap together and can cut hundreds of blocks per hour at precisely 22 and 7/16 and also perfectly square.
    Edit: I meant 14 and 7/16. For those of you who think that it should be a full 14 1/2, if you can point me where to find lumber perfect enough to do that, I'd like to know. Maybe you're building with LVLs for framing lumber?

    Anything to do with the deck of your saw, only applies when the saw is new. As soon as the saw is dropped or someone loads something on top of your saw. The deck of the saw is usually bent or manipulate somehow. Always watch the blade when you cut a board. Your cut will always be on your mark when watching the blade, as a posed to using the deck as your guide.

      @chrislull670 lol, I've been framing for over 40 years kid, if you can't fit a simple block properly, you lack the skills to build anything else. That's the problem with with so many people, no pride in their work. No one will remember how fast you build, they will always remember how nice or shitty you build. Don't be a hack.

    Looks like your idea of "perfect" and most of ours is miles apart! You STILL had a 1/4" gap on your block. That is because you aren't allowing for the width of the blade, and pulling 1/8" from flush on the stud edge! WHY would you not perfect your "method" before "teaching" us the improper way?!?

    Old school here, Framed custom homes in north dallas, In the early 80's.
    We completely removed the safeties on our saws, and so did every crew I ever worked with,(4).
    Nobody ever got so much as a nick.
    I am aware this wouldn't fly these days... We also wired The safety back on our nail guns, People have a tendency to bounce the gun, When the safety is operating.
    Plus.. People will walk around with their finger on the trigger, Rellying on the safety to fire the nail, Not a good thing if you Accidentally Stumble ,and bump some thing, A nail will shoot and hit somebody.
    I remember a story in the news, From dallas, A man was walking the joist, On the incomplete second floor, When when he stumbled, The safety on the nail gun fired a nail, It ricochet and centered a man's head, Doctor said if it wasn't exactly centered like it was, It would have killed him instantly.
    They showed the x-ray in the news, The nail was completely flush, The man finished the day at work, Complained of a headache.
    I have never heard even one story of anybody on framing job getting hit with an errant nail, With the safety's pinned back.
    It also makes it much easier to toenail a windbrace, When setting walls.

    I've never seen this trick, I think it should be explained though you should measure near the top or bottom, that way your blocks are going to be accurate to how big the space should be. If you measure in the middle, your studs could be bowed and you might be cutting a 14" block or whatever.
