Check the fit

Check the direction the pile leans before laying out both edges. If the tool needs a base to support it over pad, compare Crain's 303 and its adjustable throat.

When to choose it

Choose the 302 when rounded notches can help you follow a difficult pile row, such as a Berber or offset row pattern. The offset clamp allows a depth change while the notched guide continues to serve as the point of reference for the cut.
