🛠️ Improve Precise Stair Cutting with Stair Tread Template Set for Colins: Replacement Steps Risers Clamp Plates, Shelf Scribe Layout Tool, and Caliper Gages Review

They were very easy to work with and allowed us to cut the new steps accurately. Some of the angles were less than 1% and I could never reproduce them without a template. My only possible criticism is that the metal plates are lower than most stair treads. As a result, some sections of the stair had a larger angle than they actually were (due to the deformed ledge) and they had to be adjusted with multiple cuts. All in all it was a small problem. The tool itself worked great!

Great value. Easy and obvious to use. Hit with a tape measure to get an accurate measurement of the width of each tread and each riser. Each tread and riser has slight variations (ie no squares and imperfections) - this tool captures the nuances of each tread and riser. Just make sure you select the left or right side of the board for your stage and riser as your "baseline start point" and make sure the baseline start point is square/flat. then make your cut.

This looks like a quality item. You can get a similar item at a hardware store (but made of plastic) a little more than twice as cheap! Don't be cheap! It's definitely worth a few bucks more! The metal is thick, the fittings have brass inserts. And it even comes with a small piece of hardwood so you know what stick size and material to buy. Clamps hold wood well (no slipping). After I've finished the stair treads I plan to use them to measure the shelves for the alcove. Great tool! Great…

No, you can't just cut steps or risers at 90 degrees. A million to 1 the room is perfectly formed with 90 degrees left and right. With this tool, you can easily copy the left and right angles, which are almost always less than 1 degree, and transfer that angle AND the length to wood or other cutting media. Align the blade with the line and cut. Advice for indoor or enclosed steps and risers. That is, the end is not visible. Make your cut so that all cutting parts are removed. If you cut the…

I'm in no way a trained carpenter or craftsman. I'm a 41 year old housewife who decided to take our carpeted staircase after watching some CIY videos on YouTube. I'm bad at math and measuring. So I knew I had to have this tool. This eliminates the need to guess when measuring. After purchasing a 1X2 and trimming it down to 40" for use with this tool, I was able to successfully cut 16 steps to the exact length on my first try! Each rung/step had to be equipped with this tool. Then cut to size…

This template was very easy to set up and use and the precise measurements it provided made the finished work look very professional. In fact, a friend who does this for a living said my ladders were just as good as his and this was the first time I had them installed. He had never seen such a device but said he would probably get one. I found it easiest to use after sizing the template, pressing the ends against the vinyl planks, and then using a sharp utility knife along the edge of the…

A necessary accessory for installing steps and risers under new flooring (HDF, laminate, etc.) as it allows you to accurately measure the width inside the wall and adjust the angle of the wall at each End. This ensures that your material fits the wall exactly and without gaps. The steel is thick and won't bend, and the handles hold the stretcher firmly in place. They have a small gauge block so you can precisely mill any length of subframe you need to accommodate the width of the ladder you are
