Contour Gauge 10-Inch with Lock

Odd corners and old moldings rarely follow a true right angle. We build this gauge to take the guess out of an irregular cut before you touch a saw. Press the pins into the contour, flip the clamp, and carry the outline over to your board.

What this one is built to do

Clamping the teeth

The side lever binds the pins together once you push them against a molding or a heating pipe. It holds the shape firm while you move the gauge to the bench and run a carpenter pencil along the profile.

Adjusting pin tension

The frame lets you tighten or slacken how stiffly the teeth slide. If the pins push too stiffly around soft drywall or loosen up after repeated passes on rough brick, you can set the friction right back where you want it.

Plastic tooth body

We mold the sliding pins from smooth plastic so they will not rust in a damp basement or leave marks across finished baseboards. The teeth stay straight enough to trace tight curves around radiator lines and odd wall corners.

Carrying the line

You still need to bring a sharp pencil and your own saw to the stock. The gauge simply saves you from cutting cardboard templates over and over while you try to match a crooked door frame.
