Choosing bookbinding spacers and rulers

Find the width of the gap

Read the width of the contact edge on the spacer. Its length determines how far it can align the board, while the width determines the space left between the boards.

Use an L edge or fixed frame

Choose a ruler for a custom layout and a frame for a format you repeat. Check the inside opening before using a fixed-size template.

Department questions

Is ruler length the same as the hinge gap?

The long edge helps align the material. Use the separately documented contact width for the gap.

Do I need a large assortment?

Choose a compact set if it includes the gaps and layout edges you use for most cases.

Can one template fit several board formats?

A fixed opening suits the stated size. Choose a ruler-based layout when your board sizes vary.
