![]() This bracket is also the best way I have found to scribe inset toe-kicks (I used to use the pin method and shims under the kick board to push the pins against the bottom of the box). Modified EuroScribe brackets (tongue removed, screw holes added) might be a better design if you only do inset trim. The brackets shown can do inset or overlay trim. The bracket is mounted to the trim using the same holes that will be used to mount the Keku connector. It is also possible to use EuroScribe-like brackets (works better than built up connectors for inset scribes) to hold the trim for marking and/or cutting with the QuickScribe. With this method larger setbacks ( 0-19+ mm) are possible using built up connectors that hold the trim while marking it. A 5mm shelf pin is used to index the trim for marking and a system screw is used in the same hole for attaching the bracket / mounting the trim. With the pin method (the videos) a single set of 5mm holes is drilled in the trim (drill bushings in the fingers). With the screw method 0 to ~8mm setbacks or 3, 8 and 16mm overlays are possible. With the screw method (images) two sets of holes are drilled, one set is for marking the scribe line on the trim and the other for mounting the trim. There are three indexing methods - screws, 5mm pins and brackets. Stop spacing can be any increment of 32mm +/- 8 or 16mm. The stops have holes 16mm apart and also mount to the bar with 5mm locating pins. The distance/spacing of the holes/bushings from the bar is dependent on the desired trim thickness, setback and/or overlay. A tape measure and a single finger can be used to mark/drill long runs. The fingers can have VixBit holes or drill bushings and have 5mm locating pins to mount them to the bar. The bar has 5mm holes spaced 32mm apart (16mm at the ends). The jig is made of aluminum and consists of a 1/2 x 1/4" bar (.now 1x1/2 T track), 2" wide x 3/16" thick fingers and 1" wide x 1/4" thick stops. Instead of using the jig, a tape measure and a single 'finger' were used (still not a very good video). In the example I used bottom indexing because the counter overlaps the cabinet (the trim is 8mm shorter than the cabinet).Ī flush/inset face and wall return demo (first attempt and not very good)Ī simple scribe, from start to finish in real time (7min.). a stop is always placed against the top or bottom of the piece being drilled. The only requirement is that the fingers be placed an equal distance from each stop and that you choose top or bottom indexing, i.e. If you click on the image and follow the "Next" buttons (at the top-right of the page), you can follow the process from drilling the box side to setting the scribed trim. While the scribe tool can be adjusted in 32mm (1-1/4") increments, it doesn't require that the cabinets be built using the 32mm system. While the holes can be drilled with a boring machine, I wanted a faster/easier way. In Scribing Cabinet Trim I show two methods of using Keku connectors for scribing/attaching cabinet trim. Join me in this video to see another example of shop made efficiency solutions.The Keku Scribe Tool makes it easy to securely and accurately index and hold trim - for marking, sizing and mounting - using Keku connectors.

It is a simple process and with the right tools it can be quick and easy. That is why parts need to be scribed to achieve a proper fit. Walls, floors and ceilings are very rarely ever perfectly straight and flat. Whether you are scribing a cabinet gable panel, countertop, moulding or any other part that needs to be installed this video will help you approach the process in a straightforward way. Ever wonder what the best method to scribe in a cabinet panel or countertop is? Learn how to make and use my shop-made scribe tool that gives accurate scribe lines every time.
