Tommy Silva showed a very simple method for fitting stair treads, window stools, etc. using a piece of flooring felt, cardboard, etc. Works just fine for me and costs pennies. John

I picked one up at a garage sale last month thrown in with another tool. I need to use it for one set of steps then I will part with it. Even the older ones were kind of expensive.

I have no need for it either. I make them with 1/4" ply, 2 carriage bolts with wing-nuts, and whatever is available for a stretcher. I usually make three to save trips up and down the stairs. I also don't need a track saw, my tread jigs are also my saw guide. I score with a razor to prevent chipping and with tape added to both sides of the shoe I cut about .020 oversize. Nice snug fit, but not enough to scar the freshly painted skirt boards.

One of the things I said was that it could be used for many things not just stairs.
I was thinking if I make something like that maybe hardboard would work best??
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.

Wonder how long it would take me to lose the pieces.

Every time I get one of their notifications on a new tool I try to guess what the price will be. I think of what I think it's worth to me, multiply it by 3 and I'm usually still low! I like quality tools and am not a cheap skate but wow! I'm sure their tools are great quality but I can get by cheaper and still have quality. YMMV

I could bang out something similar on my CNC with plywood. Problem is I don’t need it.

I am just wondering what all uses I could be used for? Something like double marking edges or angles or stops for measuring????
