Bench Dog 10-030 Bullnose Trim Gauge

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.

It works Keeps you from having to drag a template around

Tool helps with cutting standard 3/4 Bullnose baseboard, but due to corners not being exactly 90 degrees and excess mud, it is best used as a guide. I found that cutting about 1/8 long and then form fitting by shaving off a small amount at a time worked best for getting tight fitting corners. I use a DeWalt 12 compound double bevel miter slide saw.

This is exactly what I needed. Would highly recommend

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 works very well. I wish it could do 45 degrees, but for 90s its perfect.

This is actually a very handy tool. When replacing all the trim in my house, this tool does tell me exactly where to measure to cut the trim that will fit around a bull-nosed corner. Its super easy to use and it does make the job faster. But heres why I didnt rank it 5-start (and why value for money is only 3): One: mine came with no instructions whatsoever. Oh sure, it seems that it should be intuitive, but theres nothing but the tools label printed on it. And there are four small holes, two on each side. If you arent familiar with the tools use, you might think that one of these holes is where to place the pencil to make your measuring mark. Theres no where that points out that you ACTUALLY make the mark on the inside edge of one of the leaves. Two: it seems a little over priced for what amounts to a wedged piece of injection molded plastic that serves only one purpose, and thats outside corner miter cuts on bull-nosed walls. Overall its a great tool, but honestly not something you couldnt rig up a quick jig to do the same job for mere pennies, instead of the $13 plus shipping.

I like the small learning curve. Also, the finish results look just like the Training videos. Great value for reasonable price.

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!

Easy to use, better then judging by eyesight..
