Questions about this tool

When would I choose these over a four-piece layout set?

Choose them if you want the additional slotted profiles and a metal guide set for repeated handling.

What should I use before gluing?

Dry-fit the boards around the spine and compare the margin and hinge spacing independently.

Does the miter piece cut the cloth?

It guides the layout. Use a separate appropriate cutter.
