Bench Dog 10-030 Bullnose Trim Gauge

If you are trimming around bullnose Sheetrock corners, you HAVE TO BUY THIS TOOL! It takes all the guesswork out of creating consistent, accurate beveled corners for either baseboard trim or crown molding. It is so intuitive and easy to use, I don’t know how I ever got along without it. Go to videos on YouTube about how to use it...it is everything those videos say it is AND MORE!

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.

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.

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

This is perfect, exactly what you need when looking for the right measurement for doing base board. I do many many feet and this little guys makes it faster.

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.

Works as expected.

22.5 degrees? Sorry, in order to use this to the manufacturers directions, you have to cut your pieces to 22.5 degrees. If Im a DIY, then I probably can only do 90 and 45 with the low price miter box I bought. That being said, this piece did allow me to visualize the solution for the trim I was working on and so it was worth the small investment.

This made it so much easier to measure for my baseboard. Really got my moneys worth.

... 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.
