    Default What are they called

    maybe wrong section but.....there is a tool that has dozens of long pin type things in it that you push up against a intricate shape of timber whatever and this tool gives you a replica copy that can then be copied. What is it? can you still get them and where?

    They are called contour gauges and Carbatec sells them for $ 28.00.

    Hi,

    Just in case you are not close to Carbatec Bunnings has them . I got one from them but I had to tell them what it is and have them look it up in their computer. Here is the link https://www.bunnings.com.au/dta-aust...gauge_p6656708

    These can be a collection of wires or the better ones are small flat plates ground to a point. Either are simply clamped between two other plates to keep them lined up -Wire ones more fragile -but work. thicker ones don't bend as easy. My last one was a market job -2-3$ (wire)
