Another useless product from Milescraft. It won't stay put on the wood, falls off when you are about to mark it and it's not accurate. A big waste of money. I feel stupid I bit on this one.
Don't waste your money. |

I bought this tool to help with installing door casings. As other reviewers said, it is not all that good at what it was designed to do.
But I have found that on occasion, it is great when you need to measure a board or piece of molding from the mitered end. I know, you should make your straight cut first and then measure to where you are going to make your miter cut. But what if you have two ends that are both miter cuts.
I tried to use the "reveal" part of the tool, but found it too clumsy. The only time I use it is when I want to use the nails to stick it into a mitered edge and then it holds my tape perfectly. |

| I received the product in as ordered in a timely manner, however that's where the fun ended. Upon opening the product I decided to try the reveal, I adjusted it to a 1/8" reveal and could not get the lock to hold the reveal in place. I'll probably just throw it in my tool box and keep it around for a conversation piece. I was very disappointed in the Trim Carpentry Aid and would not recommend it to anyone unless they want a conversation piece. |

| The package arrived well ahead of schedule, the instructions for delivery were followed, nothing was damaged and the price was good. I haven't used the product but, if I have an experience like the previous reviewer's, I'll post a followup. DM |

This jig is a great idea but in practice it is way to slow and requires constant fiddling with to work correctly. If it would stay put where you needed it then it might be a great product. I am sending this one back.
The instructions that came with it were in Spanish and English and were one page of mostly diagrams. The correct use and understanding behind this devise was not explained. Perhaps with a better set of instructions, someone may be better able to put it in practice.
I don't think any serious carpenter would need this. I don't think any DIY'er would be able to figure it out. Doesn't really have a target user.
I would rather use my combination square or tri-square for 45 degree marks rather than this piece of plastic. It didn't really hold my tape well to the trim corners. Works best on a short piece of trim. A short piece of trim can be hand measured easily without this however. On long trim it didn't want to stay put. Long trim is where something like this would be a good idea if it worked! I can't really recommend it. |
