Product Description
General Tools 833 10 In. Contour Gauge can duplicate any shape instantly. This profile gauge creates an instant template for curved and odd shaped profiles simply and easily. Never transfer profiles to paper or cardboard again. The contour gauge makes measuring and cutting easy. Reminiscent of a hair comb, the tool—also known as a profile comb—features a row of long, thin, moveable teeth and a perpendicular housing that holds them in place as they take an impression of the surface. The 10" long contour gauge is ideal for measuring moldings for reproduction, duplicating spindles on the lathe, fitting flooring around moldings, copying curves and a variety of other contour matching jobs around the home and shop. Two 10” gauges can be combined to measure and duplicate larger shapes. It fits around most common pipes and round columns and allows you to easily copy shapes to tile, laminate, engineered wood, solid wood and vinyl flooring to precisely cut flooring to match objects. The gauge eliminates the guessing of dimensions of irregular shapes. The tool features 3" (76mm) deep fingers will measure profiles up to 1-1/4" (32mm). Made of tough, durable plastic, the gauge will not harm the original finish of the shape being duplicated and has four magnets on the back for easy storage. GENERAL TOOLS - THE PRECISE TOOL FOR DOING THE JOB EXACTLY RIGHT. Offering over 1,000 tools, we’re proud to provide tradesmen, craftsmen and DIYers around the world with a broad range of affordable, specific-purpose mechanical hand tools and precision measuring and inspection tools.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There is a gap between the end of the product and where the contouring actually starts, though I’m not sure there is a brand who doesn’t have that gap.
Over all, great idea for a product, room to improve for sure. Made a great Christmas gift, my guy likes it.
