A handy way to capture awkward angles
The useful part is being able to set the ends to the stair and transfer the outline to the board. Take your time locking everything before lifting it.

The adjustable span is 8 to 60 inches. Measure the opening before ordering and make sure the end components can sit securely against the sides.
Yes. The angle components are described as 360° adjustable, allowing you to position them to capture the end shape you need to transfer. Lock the hardware and check for movement before lifting the template.
The tool is described as solid aluminum. It is intended as a reusable stair tread measuring and layout jig.
The kit is listed as including adjustable rails, end/angle components, locking hardware and a carry case. Please compare the package contents with the product photos.
Fit the rails to the opening, position the end components, adjust the angles, tighten the locking hardware, then transfer the outline to your tread blank. Recheck the template and dry-fit the cut tread before final installation.
The stated adjustment range is 8–60 inches. Compatibility with every winding stair, bullnose profile or unusual clearance is not guaranteed. If your stairs have an unusual shape, contact us with a photo and measurements before ordering.

If the product arrives damaged, contact us with your order number and clear photos of the damage. We will arrange a free replacement.
No template can replace checking the actual fit. Measure each stair separately, make sure the locking points have not shifted, verify the outline on the material and dry-fit each cut tread before finishing.

The useful part is being able to set the ends to the stair and transfer the outline to the board. Take your time locking everything before lifting it.
I like having one adjustable tool for laying out the stair openings rather than trying to keep several separate measurements together.
The adjustable span gives some flexibility and the angle pieces are helpful for recording the ends. I still double-check each tread before cutting.
It helps me carry the shape over to the material. The important thing is to make sure the template has not shifted when you move it.
The range is useful for different openings within its stated limits. I would recommend measuring your stairs first to make sure it is suitable.
The template gives me a physical outline to work from. I still dry-fit the tread, but it makes the transfer process easier to follow.
I like that I can reset it for another step instead of making a new pattern each time. Check every opening because they can vary.
Set the plates against the walls, lock the knobs and carry that outline to the blank. This diagram shows the principle from above.
A tape gives you a distance. AngleCraft combines adjustable rails and two end plates to capture the shape of the opening as a physical template.

Position the end plates where the tread will sit. Adjust the rails to span the opening and set each plate against its wall. Measure every step individually: neighbouring stairs can differ.

Tighten the included locking hardware, then lift the template by its rails. Before tracing, check that the end plates still sit correctly in the opening. If anything has shifted, reset it first.

Lay the template on the material, trace both ends and make your cut. Dry-fit the tread before finishing it, especially when the opening or wall line is irregular.
| Workflow | AngleCraft | Tape + bevel | Scrap template |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capture the opening | Adjust rails and end plates together | Take separate readings | Build a pattern by hand |
| Transfer to the blank | Place and trace the physical outline | Recreate measurements | Place and trace the pattern |
| Move to another step | Reset the adjustable template | Measure again | Adjust or make another pattern |
The adjustable rails cover stair widths from 8″ to 60″, with a 360° angle gauge to help capture the shape at each end. Check your measurements against that range before ordering. If your staircase has an unusual shape, send us a photo and measurements and we'll help you check.
Set the rails and end plates to match the tread, secure the locking points, then transfer that shape to your material. It keeps the width and end angles together in one adjustable template instead of measuring and transferring each part separately.
Yes. Measure each opening individually—even if the steps look identical. Older and finished staircases can vary slightly from one tread to the next.
Tighten the locking points, lift and reposition the template, then check that it still sits correctly in the opening. If anything has shifted or rocks, reset it before tracing. Always check your marked measurements and dry-fit the cut piece before final installation.
The template is made from solid aluminium and is adjustable for repeated measuring. Secure the locking hardware before lifting or transferring it, and store the components safely in the supplied carry case.
