Abstract

The invention is adapted particularly for simplifying the difficult task of measuring the openings of picture frame mats, and then transferring those measurements to a mitering machine for the purpose of accurately cutting, to the proper length, a piece of picture frame fillet molding. The invention includes at least a generally rectangular body, comprising a top plate and a base plate. A slide mechanism is slideably mated to the top plate by means of a male dovetail, which mates with the matching female dovetail. In addition, the slide mechanism is mated to the top plate by introducing the side of top plate into the slot of the slide.
