    Default Cutting parallel curve

    I have a curved length of timber and the template to make that.
    Is there a simple way to duplicate that curve on the opposite side to make a consistent width of 19mm for the full length ?
    Once done I can then make others to match using it at a template.
    Maybe a router technique.

    I will have several different curves for my teardrop camper build.

    Marking gauge, then bandsaw close to line then sand to the line?

    You could use dividers, combination square or make a simple making gauge from some scrap.

    If you stick two half dowels to the router fence vertically you'll have stable 2-point contact to follow the curve. The closer together they are, the more consistent the distance to the bit will be.
