And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've Designed, Fabricated, and Installed Cabinets, of all kinds, for nearly 40 years. The True Position jig is a God send for repeatable accurate placing of cabinet hardware of all kinds. This professional grade jig minimizes the time to achieve great results whereas, previously, hardware placement was achieved in a time consuming, one piece at a time, method. Yes, it does take time to learn how to use correctly, it's well worth the investment.
Ah! So, do you work for True Position or do you just sell these as an independent?
I'm not familiar with this particular tool bit's not the only jig like this out there and I have seen those use to screw up not just a single pull, but every single pull in a kitchen install.
Matthew - It's obvious that weak minded people shouldn't be allowed to operate certain tools, or equipment. Drilling the wrong "hole" or improperly setting up the jig proves this. Sure there's other "jigs" one could use, but they're mostly cheap imitations of the True Position jig. Not to mention they're made of plastic and will most likely waller out and become inaccurate. No, I don't represent True Position nor do I sell these them. But your poor attempt at an insult only proves your lack of intelligence.
Cabinet maker for over 30 years here. These jigs are dangerous. One slightly misplaced hole and you're replacing a door or drawer front. We use green masking tape over the hole location to be drilled, measure and mark before drilling. Double check by placing the knob or pull over the marks.
I've done a few kitchens and made a jig like this out of wood to ensure placement repeatability. Yes, set up wrong and your are screwed (pardon the pun) but it was easy to slide a small punch into the drill bushings and slightly mark the intended hole positions and then measure the results. And even a tool as simple as a hammer is dangerous in the wrong hands. As my Dad said: Measure thrice, check twice, cut once.
I did kitchens and baths for years, this is cute but in the right hands would allow someone to fuck up stuff faster and more efficiently.

When I was a cabinetmaker, we did this with a Stanley tape & a pencil. Worked just fine.
ReplyDeleteIf it would cut the dove tails for me I would get one. Jack of all trades master of none.
