Measuring door casing without writing it down

Measurement Lists

Casing a door is four or five pieces that all depend on each other, and the legs and the head get measured within a minute of one another. Write them on the jamb and you are trusting a pencil mark on a surface about to be covered. The T1R Range saves each one on the button and keeps them in the order taken, so the head is still the head when you get to the saw and no piece is cut off the wrong leg.

Painted door casing and baseboard are measured in a finished room, the blade run along the architrave with the green line landing on the trim. The display steps through several readings in the thirties, fifties and hundreds as the legs and the head are taken in turn. Nothing is written on the jamb or on paper between measurements.
