Measuring accessory boosts efficiency and precision for onsite trim fabrication

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Westlake Royal Building Products^™ (“Westlake Royal”), a Westlake company (NYSE:WLK), has launched Tapco Tape™, a measuring accessory that speeds custom bends and cuts on Tapco Tools^® siding and trim brakes.

Tapco Tape attaches easily to a Tapco Tools brake to provide an instant scale for bends and cut-offs, allowing users to measure from the brake anvil and with a 1.5" offset for use with the Pro-Cutoff without using a standalone tape measure. With the Tapco Tape in place, there’s no need to mark material with a tape measure and then line up marks with the anvil. It also has material stops to make repeat bends more efficient. The result is easier, faster and more precise bending.

Tapco Tape clamps to the brake without needing to drill holes. The accessory has a hinge design, so users can swing it up and out of the way when not in use, then bring it back down into place when needed.

“Siding and trim fabricators rely on the precision and durability of Tapco Tools brakes to craft custom, on-site trim with a high-quality, expert finish, and Tapco Tape adds to that versatility,” said Steve Booz, vice president, marketing for Westlake Royal Building Products. “Rather than fumbling with a separate tape measure and worrying about lining up marks, Tapco Tape simplifies the process, thereby increasing efficiency and accuracy.”

Tapco Tape can be used with the Max-I-Mum^® XL, PRO 14^®, PRO 19^®, Pro^® II, Pro^® III, Pro^® 2000, and Pro^® 50” Tapco Tools brake models.
