4" Trim Gauge
Part # TG4
Sometimes the design
of a product can be so simple that it's a wonder why it's new to the
market.
That definitely can be
said about Trim Gauge, a new multi-purpose tool now available that will save
Tradesmen and Do-It-Yourselfers both time and money.
The patented design of
the Trim Gauge allows for increased productivity and accuracy in such areas as
carpentry, siding, window replacement, adjusting power tool settings, ceramic
tile, hardware placement, masonry, flooring, glass/mirror, vinyl graphics,
sewing, crafts, and much more.
Reveal is built into
both sides of the tool for fast and accurate trim installation. Simply
place it alongside your window or door jamb and mark your line.
Imperial and metric
rules graduated in 1/16" and mm.
How to Use Your Trim Gauge™ to do Door
Trim
|
|
Although there are many uses, the Trim Gauge™ was originally
designed for maintaining the same reveal around your windows and doors.
Its pre-determined offset is the standard reveal for all doors and
windows.
Keep in mind that the Trim Gauge™ is a universal tool, meaning
that it has right and left hand capabilities. When you slide the Trim
Gauge™ forward in one direction it will measure the same in the
opposite direction.
Note: Prior to using your Trim Gauge™ make sure that the
door or window is Plumb. |
|
|
Loosen the thumb screw on the Trim
Gauge™ and slide the gauge forward so it is approximately offset 3/4"
then retighten thumb screw. |
|
|
|
|
Place Trim Gauge™ in the upper
corner of the door jamb so that the bottom of the gauge is resting on the
jamb, the top part of gauge should protrude over the jamb.

Take
a Pencil and draw a line along outer edge of Trim Gauge™. |
|
|
|
|
| Remaining in the same corner reverse
the gauge and draw a line on the adjoining jamb (Click To See Picture).
Note: You should have two intersecting lines. Do this in all
corners. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Place the Trim Gauge™ on the
jamb and periodically draw short lines down or across to use as reference
point for the placement or your trim.

|
|
| Now
that you have drawn your marks on the jamb simply place your trim on its
prospective position and transfer your mark onto your trim piece. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cut
your trim piece on your transferred mark using a 45 deg. cut. Install your
trim piece. |
|
|
|
|
Note:
There are several different
ways of installing your trim pieces. The recommended method is to start
with your side pieces first and do your top last. Since the top piece is
generally smaller you will find it easier to work with, in the event minor
adjustments are needed.
Helpful Hint:
When you are ready for your top piece start off
by cutting a 45 deg. angle on one side of your trim piece. Next place the
trim in its prospective position, upside down. Match the tips of the side
and top trim piece and mark your length on the opposite end. Now cut the
other 45 deg. at the mark. A 45 deg. miter will continuously work when you
have established the same reveal around an opening.
