Fit and buying advice

The sizes are the guide settings. The suitable one depends on the board and cover material. Cut and fold a scrap corner before using it on the finished case.

Questions about this tool

Which options does it add to a 3–7 mm set?

It includes 2 mm and 10 mm offsets. The clear BENECREAT set instead fills in the intermediate sizes.

How do I keep corners consistent?

Use the same guide and board orientation at each corner after checking a test fold.

Does the kit set the space beside the spine?

Use a separate hinge spacer for that measurement. These guides set the corner trim.
