Am-Tech Contour Gauge

The Am-Tech Contour Gauge is a versatile and essential tool for anyone involved in DIY, construction, or carpentry. This tool is designed to help you accurately copy and transfer the shape of any surface, making it particularly useful for tasks that require precise fitting and cutting.

What is a Contour Gauge?

A contour gauge, also known as a profile gauge, is a tool used to replicate the shape of an object. It consists of a series of thin, movable pins that conform to the shape of the object when pressed against it. This allows you to trace the exact shape onto another surface, ensuring a perfect fit.

Features

The Am-Tech Contour Gauge comes in various models, each designed to meet different needs. Here are some of the key features:

Durable Construction: The Am-Tech Contour Gauge is made from high-quality, durable plastic, ensuring it can withstand regular use without breaking or wearing out.
Non-Marking Pins: The pins are made from non-marking plastic, which means they won't damage or scratch the surfaces you're working with.
Friction Lock: Some models, like the 140mm (5 Inch) Contour Gauge, come with a friction lock that holds the pins in place once you've captured the shape. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining accuracy when transferring the shape.
Metric and Imperial Scales: The gauge includes both metric and imperial scales, making it easy to measure and transfer shapes regardless of your preferred measurement system.
Versatility: The contour gauge can be used for a variety of applications, including tiling, fitting around pipes, windowsills, switches, sanitary fixtures, basins, and architraves.

How to Use

Using the Am-Tech Contour Gauge is straightforward:

Press the Gauge Against the Object: Simply press the contour gauge against the object you want to replicate. The pins will move to match the shape of the object.
Lock the Pins (if applicable): If your model has a friction lock, engage it to hold the pins in place.
Trace the Shape: Remove the gauge and place it on the material you want to cut or shape. Trace the outline of the pins onto the material.
Cut or Shape the Material: Follow the traced outline to cut or shape the material to match the original object.

Applications of the Am-Tech Contour Gauge

The Am-Tech Contour Gauge is incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications:

Tiling: When tiling around irregular shapes or objects, the contour gauge helps ensure that tiles fit perfectly without gaps or uneven edges.
Carpentry: For woodworking projects, the contour gauge allows you to replicate complex shapes and profiles, ensuring a precise fit.
Plumbing: When fitting pipes or other fixtures, the contour gauge helps you cut materials to fit snugly around them.
DIY Projects: Whether you're installing new flooring, creating custom furniture, or working on home improvement projects, the contour gauge is an invaluable tool.

Benefits of Using the Am-Tech Contour Gauge
