The corner mate is a game changer!
Until now, there were only two options for cutting corners: by eye, or using jigs. Jigs work well, but you need many of them, each board thickness requiring a different jig, and what if you want to cut at a distance that you don't have a jig for?
These problems are now a thing of the past with the Corner Mate. Here's how it works: if your board is 2 mm thick, simply set your corner mate to 2.5 or 3 mm (depending on the look you prefer), and tighten the screw. Next, hook the tool around the corner of the board and run your blade along the fence: the job is done, and it's done perfectly, with zero risk, every single time.
Built to last
The Corner Mate is made with durable, carefully selected materials only - solid brass for the body / stainless steel for the screw. With proper care, this tool will outlive us all and will be handed down from generation to generation.
This tool took one full year of research and development to make it as user-friendly, ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing as possible.
