Bira Craft Score and Fold Tool for 12 X 12 inch Multi-Purpose Scoring Board (Score & Fold Tool)

Although the difference was minor, I couldn't figure out why my card base was uneven when folded in half. The issue is the board; when you tuck your paper into the corner, the measurements are off. I'm going to keep using it until I can afford a new one by centering my paper on the first and last grooves, then using the mark on eight of an inch to the right. If you can figure out how to do that, it's usable, but you'll always have to shift one eight to the right when given directions to score at certain measurements. I hope that was clear. I would not purchase or recommend this product until it is fixed.

br>br>Back of the Line: br>br>Back of the Line: br>br>Back of the Line: br This is a well-made injection-molded part with several quality control points that make scoring accurately with reasonably steady hands relatively simple. The envelope/paper box jig is an excellent addition, transforming a basic device into a much more useful tool. The scoring knife is a source of concern, and users who use SI/metric should probably look elsewhere.

The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>br>The Pros: br>b This scoring board is made out of injection molded plastic. It has both SAE and SI measuring scales for 1/8" and 1mm, respectively.

Custom and standard sized envelopes of almost any size up to A6 could be made without difficulty after some trial and error (please note: Custom envelope sizes may not be accepted at a standard rate by the postal service, and package rates may apply). The Drawbacks: br>br> The scoring knife, which appears to be made of a type of nylon, has minor wear after a few dozen scores, which is the most serious concern about this product. The knife appears to be the most worn part of this, and replacements do not appear to be readily available. However, there's no reason why another knife couldn't be used to score; however, the profile would need to match the scoring lines or be slightly narrower to avoid digging into the grooves. The Bad: br>br> The manufacturer didn't bother to fill in the metric units with a contrasting color, so those who need them will be disappointed. As a result, seeing them is difficult, and modification (as shown in the attached photo) will be required to create a usable metric scale. The misalignment between the grooves and the SI measuring, combined with the misalignment between the grooves and the SI measuring, was enough to knock a full star off the product (note that the 1/8" grooves are about 3. The conversion isn't very good because they're only 2mm apart. At the end of the day, this is an SAE product. br>br>Disclosure to the public: My thoughts and opinions on this product are entirely my own.

1/32" was off on the fold marks.

The diagonal guide has charts with measurements for small gift boxes, envelopes, and envelope boxes, so it works well as a scoring board. If you've never used a scoring board before, I recommend looking up instructional videos on YouTube. It's a little perplexing at first until you see it done. br>It appears to me that the scoring tool/folder is rather flimsy. Its main benefit is that, like the diagonal tool, it fits into a slot on the back of the scoring board. br>Two major criticisms: It's sealed in a hard practice that's extremely difficult to remove without leaving dangerously sharp, jagged edges. And you're likely to tear the cardboard backing, which contains the only instructions for the basic projects, in the process of unpacking it. Finally, if you're going to be making a lot of envelopes, you'll want to invest in an envelope corner rounder. They are included on some scoring boards, but not on this one.

Making an envelope took several attempts for me. I used both regular "thin" scrapbook paper and typing paper in my experiments. The paper tore or shifted despite my following the directions on the back. Finally, I used 110 weight card stock to make an A2 envelope. I made an 8-inch-by-8-inch square out of it. The ridge on the underside of the paper guide (which resembles a triangle) must be aligned with the 5 1/4 inch slot. It will fall into place in the slot. A notch on the right side that lines up with the 11 5/8 inch slot should be present. The corner and the very right point should form a flush angle. On the back of the package, there is a first image. So I positioned my 8-inch card stock so that the point on the left corresponded to the 3 1/2-inch mark on the triangle-shaped tool. It continued past the top right corner. You must hold the card stock firmly so it does not move when you make the score line. (I recommend using washi tape to help hold it to the board so it does not shift. ) It gets easier after you get your first score. You make a 90-degree right turn with the card stock. See the third image on the back of the package for how to line up the first score line to the bottom of the triangle that sticks out. The card stock will go under that small triangle that sticks out and up past the top of the score board. I used washi tape to keep my card stock from shifting when I turned it 90 degrees to the right to make the score mark. I cut the triangles where two score lines crossed after I had completed all four score lines. On the back of the package, there is a fourth image. Then I make my envelope by folding all of the corners on the score lines. To keep it closed, I used double-sided tape. Otherwise, your score lines will be off because the card stock is not flush with the side of the envelope tool. br>On the back of the package, there are more project ideas. I'm excited to give those projects a shot as well.

I bought it because I frequently need to score cards but don't want to use my large paper cutter. It also comes with an envelope and a box. Adding features that appealed to the audience. While this method works well for scoring cards, making perfectly square envelopes is more difficult. Actually, after some experimentation, I'm not sure it's possible. The score is also quite wide, and if the paper isn't thick enough, it can tear through if you apply too much pressure. An additional disadvantage - There was no way to get a paper punch on its own.
