Q:
Your tool looks very useful; I'd be interested in having it in my toolbox.
Not to criticize your tool's utility; however, it looks like once you mark the parallel lines on both blocks, you then have to make a trim cut on each cap block.
Two cuts, right ?
Having the now cut edges parallel to each other and relatively perpendicular to the outer wall face will indeed be a nice detail, but it's still two cuts vs one.
Most of my work is with real stone, not cast concrete products.
It may not look as nice as two parallel edges perpendicular to the face, but I simply mark & cut an angled parallel of one of the block's edges on the other & make one cut.
I do this by measuring the widest gap distance between the two coping cap stones, and then mark that measurement at the opposite side to create a parallel cut line on one stone.
This same process can also get more convoluted in transferring more irregular non straight edges from one stone to the other.
A:
Thank you for your question! You are correct in saying that this tool is designed to split the cut over two caps creating a more uniform look but requires 2 cuts. The typical practice that it sounds like you execute when cutting caps is a mark that we can produce with a tool called our Quick-E-Scribes.
