Well worth the money, especially if you are working alone. Following the directions will show you how to install various trim -- see complete instructions at [.].Bench Dog makes quality products.Write your name on it when you get it, I have lost two lending it out. This unit did come in an aluminum and plastic version. Both are good.
Nicely made product, I'm sure it will last for a long time. Best for non-professionals I think, those who can use a little help doing trim work. Works just like its supposed to. Easy to measure the length of miters, mark out 45 degree angels, and of course helps keep a nice even reveal.
After spending an inordinate amount of time on the first one, I ran out and bought a Trim-Loc at the recommendation of a salesperson at (Lowes). The Crown Cut has simple instructions that again make mistakes almost foolproof. The tool worked so well that my Father-in-law wanted one of his own as well as my brother-in-law who is a contractor. They were each about $6.00 cheaper than at your local home improvement storeI also want to mention that I purchased Bench Dog's Crown-Cut crown molding jig. I purchased a Trim-Loc from a local home improvement store and instantly realized that this was money well spent.
That meant casement on both sides of the doorways. After the obligatory learning curve, we found that the Trim-Loc made measuring, cutting and placement of the casement trim extremely fast and easy. If you have ever cut crown molding on a miter saw you know that its orientation is paramount. It is pricey but again money well spent.PS. My Father -in -law and I were remodeling my family-room and it has 4 doorways in it.
Mis-cuts were non-existent and when working with high dollar Oak millwork, mistakes can be expensive. "And they are made in the USA. I bought two.
I really like the idea of this tool, but find it difficult at best to use because of this problem. I have the toughest time keeping the end of a tape meaure in the slots provided on this tool. Am I missing something. The problem is that the raised part of this tool, which rests against the door jamb/window frame to mark the reveal, prevents the end of the tape measure to hook into the measuring slot because the tape is resting on top of this raised part so it can't slide securely into the slot.The tape measure tab end keeps popping out of the slot. Any comments to successfully utilize this tool are appreciated The slots are also not long enough to fully seat the tab end of a standard tape measure.
