Bench Dog 10-030 Bullnose Trim Gauge

I do a lot of trim in houses with round corners. This help a lot when it comes to making the outside corners. The marks dont line up exactly where you need to cut, but once you understand that you need to cut each piece about 1/16th of an inch long, you can move pretty fast.

I do a ton of trim work as a carpenter. I just finished a job where there was over 1000 ln/ft of crown molding with a ton of outside angles on rounded corners. By the time I finished the job I bought this. Why? Because once you have done something a million times over and it still takes you time to make sure you are getting the perfect measurement you look for a way to get it right the first time without any question. This is the solution to that!

Great product. What more can I say. My only complaint is that I could have saved quite a bit of time and money if I had this product years ago. But you know the old saying, better late, than really late.

This is a very accurate tool to used when doing crown mouldings when going around rounded corners. There are YouTube videos on using this and thats why I bought this tool. Once you have it youll keep this in your tool apron. This will save you so much time.

Handy little piece of plastic! I use it in conjunction with my handmade baseboard template to mark & measure outside corners with ease.

This was so helpful when replacing the trim in my house. Made the job so much easier and accurate. Not sure how I would have figured out how to get the trim correctly sized around the bullnose without it.

The first few outside corners Id tried to cut without this tool, was an exercise in frustration and cursing. Making them with this tool is easy. Once you get a couple corners under your belt with this, youll breeze through them. Was able to trim baseboards around a column with 9 outside corners in roughly an hour. I was ready so sub this work out until I got this tool.

If youre doing trim around bullnose, youll want this. Its worth it. My one gripe is not embedding magnets so it could stick to the corner (assuming you have metal corner bead like me). They have little holes for nailing to the wall, but thats ridiculous. Either way, theres not much choice with this type of product and sticking it to the wall isnt that important - so just get it.

... the break for the cuts, but youll need to be a craftsman to make the cuts tight. Ill bet your house does not have a single 90* outside corner in it, and that is what you must have, a true 90, for this gauge to do its job. Then youll need a saw that can cut an accurate 22.5* angle both left and right. And the 5/8 throat is rare. Most bullnose bends are 1/2. This device does however, make a great pencil tray on my work bench. Keeps those suckers from rolling off the table and breaking the leads.
