What this tool is for

Choose this seven-piece CYFUN set if you make both flat book covers and rigid chipboard boxes.

When you switch to a box or divider, the six plastic guides hold pieces in position while the joints are glued.

Fit and buying advice

Match the holder groove to the actual board thickness. The set lists 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 mm grooves. For example, a 2 mm divider belongs in the 2 mm groove. Work out the book’s hinge gap separately because that gap is part of the cover layout. If you only need to position and trim flat boards, compare the single CYFUN cover guide.

Questions about this tool

Should I buy the set for a flat book cover only?

The single CYFUN cover guide may be enough if you only need to place and trim flat cover boards.

Which parts hold two pieces during gluing?

Use the plastic holders for the supported board thickness. The metal cover guide lays out the cover.

Do the 1 to 3 mm sizes tell me the hinge gap?

They describe the board grooves in the holders. Determine the hinge gap from the book you are making.
