Collins Tread Template
The Tread Template is the most compact, rigid, easily adjusted tread jig available. It is also affordable so that any hard working, underpaid finish carpenter can get one!
The Tread Template consists of two twelve-inch plates and clamps that fit neatly into a toolbox. On the job site add a piece of 1 x 4 and you have a very rigid gauge that will give you accurate measurements every time. Adjustable counter support posts direct the clamping pressure onto the 1 x 4 so that it would require a forceful blow to knock it out of alignment. Another great feature is a series of holes in the plate that allow you to pry with your nail set against the 1 x 4 snug to the skirts while you tighten the bar nuts.
