The Columbia Angle Head/Corner Finisher is designed for professionals, applying a consistent, even coat of joint compound to inside corners while simultaneously feathering the edges. This tool automatically adjusts to the corner angle and scrapes off excess compound, leaving a uniform coat ready for finishing. Columbia Taping Tools are recognized for their in-house fabrication, utilizing solid billet aluminum and stainless-steel components. This construction results in lightweight yet durable tools built for long-term professional use. Many parts are interchangeable for straightforward repairs or upgrades, extending the tool's lifespan. Key Features and Benefits: Professional Finish: Applies the correct amount of mud and feathers edges for a smooth, professional-grade finish. Durable Construction: Made with precision-machined hard-chromed wings or highly durable stainless steel wings for longer wear and superior performance. The body is made from solid billet aluminum, offering greater longevity than cast alternatives. Efficient Operation: Whether running behind a Corner Roller or skimming on a Corner Box, these angle heads are designed for smooth operation, often described as running "like they are on ice". Precision Blades: Many models feature precision-set carbide blades for a sharp, clean finish. Secure Attachment: Features like a slide lock or foolproof locking mechanism ensure the angle head remains securely attached to handles or corner boxes. Versatility: Available in various sizes (2", 2.5", 3", and 3.5") to suit different stages of the finishing process and specific job requirements. For example, the 3" size is popular for first coats, often followed by a 2" or 2.5" head for finishing coats. The 3.5" "Fat Head" offers wider coverage. Wheels Option: All models come with a wheel kit installed (and an Allen key for removal), allowing for user preference in operation. Compatibility: Columbia Angle Heads are compatible with most major brands of taping tools. North American Made: Hand-made from U.S. billet aluminum and steel components, machined in Columbia's facility in Canada. Common Applications: Used on inside 90-degree angles after embedding tape with a corner roller to evenly feather compound over the tape. Attached to a corner box to apply subsequent coats of mud, flushing the angles. The 2" and 2.5" heads are typically used for second and third finishing coats. The 3" head is often used as a first coat glazer or for all-around use.
