A contour gauge is a handy measuring tool that captures irregular shapes and profiles quickly. It features stainless steel or high-quality plastic pins that glide smoothly along any surface—curves, arcs, corners, or complex profiles—then lock in place to hold the exact shape you’ve traced.
Use it for measuring around door frames, window frames, pipes, moulds, automotive parts, and artistic templates. Once you’ve positioned the pins against your target shape, engage the locking lever or screw to secure them. This prevents the pins from shifting during transfer, so the profile you get matches precisely what you measured.
The 5-inch size suits most household and workshop applications. Transfer your captured contour directly to your material—timber, plastic, metal—and cut or shape accordingly for a perfect fit every time.
Check the product specifications to confirm the pin material and locking mechanism suit your project. Ready to start? Position the gauge against your first shape and lock in the profile.
