Baluster Calculator Elite vs StringerPro

Baluster Calc Elite is an industry leading tool and calculator designed to simplify solving baluster spacing measurements for handrails (both flat and on a rake). Flat Railing (inputs): -Max baluster spacing -Baluster width -Run length Flat Railing (outputs): -Number of balusters -Space between centers -Number of spaces -Space between balusters -Measurements for marking centers of each baluster Stair Railing (inputs): -Max baluster spacing -Baluster width -Run length (on rake) -Rake angle, stair rise, stair run, or stair run/stair rise Stair Railing (outputs): -Number of balusters -Space between centers (on rake) -Number of spaces -Space between balusters (on rake) -Space between balusters -Measurements for marking centers of each baluster Preference settings for easily switching between inches, centimeters, and millimeters for all dimensions.

StringerPro turns total rise and total run into a code-checked, ready-to-cut stair stringer layout. Built for finish carpenters, framers and deck builders who want one tool that does the stringer job properly, including the bottom step. KEY FEATURES - Fraction-native input. Feet, whole inches and a sixteenths picker that works the way a construction calculator does. Common stops (0, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4) are one tap. - IRC R311.7 code validation. Live green / amber / red badges for riser height (max 7-3/4"), tread depth (min 10"), riser variance, 2x12 throat (min 3-1/2"), comfort (rise plus tread), and pitch angle. - The bottom step handled correctly. The bottom riser is automatically shortened by the tread thickness so walking rises stay uniform once treads are installed, a common source of uneven steps. - Side-view diagram with every dimension labelled. A clean 2D elevation that prints legibly. - Framing-square cut sheet. Step-by-step heel positions along the top edge of the 2x12, with rise leg and run leg dimensions for every notch, plus the seat and plumb end cuts. - 1:1 print template. Tile the side view across letter pages at full scale, tape them together and trace straight onto the 2x12. Crop marks on every corner. - Material estimator. Enter stringer count, stair width and lumber prices; get linear footage and total job cost, fasteners included. - Saved jobs with job name, address and notes. - Deck stair mode, which marks the job as a deck stair on the summary sheet. Set deck-board tread stock and nosing on the inputs screen. - Imperial and metric, in light and dark appearance. - Works entirely offline. No account and no sign-in. - No ads and no tracking.
