Sets out all the cut blocks in a raking wall, matching all the off-cuts and positioning the bond beams ( if any ) for easy placement of reinforcing steels. This system is very accurate and extremely fast, compared to the standard 'stick and string' method. By slightly altering the height of the rake, you can optimize offcut matching, often saving half your cutting. Enter length, angle or height, bond and bond beam specifications and Raker generates a cut sheet listing all the blocks in the rake. You mark and cut the blocks first, numbering cut and offcut. Then its easy to lay the blocks up the rake by number. Because the cut sizes are very accurate, its easy to keep the rake line straight without a string line. If you can't build the high end corner to the top of the rake, for the line, its better not to use one. As ascending courses have less perp joints, the rake will center itself. Just keep gage and bond and you'll be amazed how straight and accurate the rake ends up. With 2 bond beam courses, the second course bond is staggered forward, so the core centers line up vertically, allowing easy placement of vertical reinforcing steels. Because there's no need for a string line, this system fits well with Arkwall, the system for circular or curved walls, where you can't use a line.
