Best tool for metal railing fabrication
That’s app gets my picket spacing dead on every time. Makes my job quicker and easier!!
United StatesQuick And Easy
I build stairs for a living and along with that I install balcony railing. I've been looking for an app to make baluster spacing faster and more accurate. I read the positive and negative reviews and decided to try this app. I love it. As a test I did a short balcony rail with iron balusters. I entered the data, followed the layout dimensions and it worked perfectly. Quick, simple and accurate. Thank you.
United StatesApc
Put in exact measurements and used there centers,they started getting further off and last picket was off
United StatesBaluster app bad
It only works with balusters less than 1 inch width
United StatesGood enough
Perfect for what I do. I am in the steel fabrication industry and for my railing pickets this is perfect. You might have to fudge the last picket a tiny bit sometimes but for what I need it is quick and easy.
United StatesNEEDS Updated and worked on
If I could change the baluster measurements from center to befor or after this app would be way better. I have to place a block every time I want to use this app or everything takes twice as long to do. If the app dosent improve I won’t use it anymore.
United StatesNot an all in one
The icon is misleading. It does not give measurements for tread surface mount as the icon depicts. Cannot input horizontal rake inputs to spit out where on tread to mark centerline for baluster.
