A FEW USES FOR The Original True
Angle®
Contractors in every trade, kitchen/bath
designers, do-it-yourselfers, homeowners, architects, engineers, facilities
managers, and interior decorators use them for defining existing conditions,
or for designing, laying out, and installing foundations, walls, roofs, trusses,
stairs, cabinets, countertops, plastic laminates, solid surfaces, floor tile,
ceramic tile, shelving, window treatments, fences, sidewalks, landscaping,
decks, gazebos, retaining walls, and swimming pools. Since these tools measure
both inside and outside corners, they instantly simplify cutting any miter,
including baseboards, chair rails, and crown moldings.
-
Contractors using the True Angle®
for layout can now make any angle in under five seconds. It doesn't matter
whether the angles are for foundations, piers, walls, sheet metal, roofs,
decks, sidewalks, or gazebos, right now each angle takes at least ten
minutes to lay out. The True Angle® eliminates an enormous amount of time,
saving the contractor thousands of dollars a year in labor costs -- in some
cases, even hundreds of thousands.
-
Cabinet, countertop, or solid surface
workers can now measure both inside and outside corners, thereby eliminating
gluing pieces of wood together, making cardboard patterns, or guessing. To
use the True Angle® just as a bevel square, the worker puts the tool into an
inside corner, locks the angle, then draws that exact angle onto a large
piece of butcher paper. This process removes the need for costly or
inaccurate templates.
-
A furniture maker, in many cases
has to duplicate an existing part or angle. The True Angle® can read an
angle or lock and transfer an angle, so new parts can be cut exactly, over
and over, or damaged parts can be easily replaced. Again, this eliminates
the need to make templates and patterns.

In woodworking crafts, the roof
pitches on bird houses and dog houses can now be done quickly, easily, and
flawlessly. Doll houses and train boards can be laid out with great
precision. Geometric patterns of any kind can be repeated accurately.
Hobbyists and crafters can use them for laying out,
squaring up, or designing scrap books, doll houses, train boards, bee's wax
candles, letters, bird houses, dog houses, plaques, picture frames, matting,
Christmas tree skirts, decorative painting, stencils, octagons, hexagons,
triangles, squares, stars, rubber stamps, and elaborately decorated cakes. The
project is only limited by the creative imagination.
Quilters and sewers can develop customized designs,
copy antique or contemporary patterns, square fabric or blocks, cut on the bias,
set grid patterns, make stars, squares, triangles, and diamonds, lay out fans,
appliqués, chimneys, log cabins, mariner's compasses, kaleidoscopes,
cornerstones, broken stars, and medallions. Rotary cutters won't damage the
tools.
Artists and graphics designers can easily set
perspectives, lay out projects, duplicate existing artwork, and make quick
sketches.
Students can use them in completing complicated
homework models, including pyramids. The True Angle® will give them an edge in
math and geometry projects, drafting classes, engineering classes, shop classes,
art classes, and home economics classes.
