Shape Contour Gauge Duplicator Profile Tool 5" & 10"

Shape Contour Gauge for Accurate Profile Copying

Capture complex curves, corners and cut-outs in seconds with this Shape Contour Gauge Duplicator. Designed for accurate profile measuring and transferring, it lets you copy irregular shapes directly onto your workpiece for clean, precise cuts with less trial and error.

Made from sturdy, lightweight plastic, this contour template tool uses a dense row of fine teeth that slide smoothly to match the exact outline of pipes, trims, frames, skirting boards, tiles and more. Simply press the gauge against the object, lock the profile, and trace the shape onto your material. It is suitable for carpentry, flooring, tiling, woodworking, metalwork, bodywork and general DIY tasks where accurate fit and finish matter.

The gauge is available in two working lengths to cover a wide range of jobs: 5 inch (approx. 12.5 cm) for tighter spaces and smaller details, and 10 inch (approx. 26 cm) for wider profiles such as door frames, steps and large pipe cut-outs. A side locking mechanism helps hold the captured contour in place while you move and mark it, reducing the chance of distortion. The compact design fits easily into a toolbox or work bag, making it practical for both workshop and on-site use.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Improves accuracy when cutting tiles, laminate, carpet, wood and more around irregular shapes
• Saves time by removing guesswork and repeated trimming or re-cutting
• Versatile sizes and a locking feature make it useful for both professionals and DIY users
