Shape Gauge Silver 140 mm — Silver brand, model 11559

Shape Gauge Silver 140 mm — Silver brand, model 11559 is a compact contour gauge intended for reproducing, comparing and transferring profiles. The 140 mm wide template offers a portable reference for tracing shapes and verifying edges in carpentry, metalwork, model making and design applications. It is designed for straightforward molding of irregular outlines and for checking that installed parts match required profiles.

Advantages

The shape gauge provides accurate profile capture in a compact form factor that is easy to carry and store. Its simple mechanical design enables quick adaptation to curved or straight contours without complex setup. The 140 mm working width is suitable for common tasks while the rigid backing maintains the captured shape during transfer. The tool is intended for repeatable use in workshop and on-site environments.

Suitable for

• Transferring irregular edges and contours in carpentry
• Checking and comparing profiles for metalworking and fabrication
• Model making and small-scale pattern reproduction
• Design and layout tasks where accurate tracing is needed

Key specifications

• Working width: 140 mm
• Function: contour reproduction and profile comparison
• Form factor: compact, portable template
• Typical applications: woodworking, metalwork, modelling, design

How to use

Place the shape gauge against the object whose contour you need to reproduce and allow the profiling elements to conform to the surface until the full outline is captured. Hold the backing steady to preserve the captured shape and trace the profile with a pencil or marking tool directly from the gauge onto the workpiece or transfer it to paper. For verification tasks, align the gauge to the reference edge and inspect the fit; adjust the workpiece as needed based on the observed differences.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, ensure the gauge elements move freely and the backing is clean before use. When tracing onto delicate surfaces, use light marking pressure or protective film to avoid surface damage. Store the tool in a dry, dust-free place to maintain smooth movement of the profiling elements and consistent performance.
