I'm getting ready to put in some baseboards and some interior door casings. Can anyone recommend which of the above would work best for measuring the length needed and then measuring the wood for the miter saw cut?
Previously when I used my talking tape for measuring the board to cut on my miter saw, I have the following problems. First of all the metal tab on the end of the tape won't hold around the edge of the board. So, I have to hold the dumb end down by sticking a push pin into the first perforated hole in the tape to hold it down. Bear in mind, if I don't work fast the talking tape turns off and I have to pull the pin and reset the tape and start over. Secondly, I run the tape down the board to the correct measurement, against my saw blade, then badk the tape off and make my cut. After the cut I pull the tape to the end of the board to check my measurement. Again, I have to work fast or the thing will turn off again. Anyway, all this stuff is ridiculous, so, I was wondering whether I would have better luck using a click ruler or the rotomatic. Since I've never used either of them, I don't know which one might work the best for these applications. Can anyone out there advise me on this Thanks, Tom Hodges?
