The object shown is a contour gauge, also known as a profile gauge, profile comb, or shape duplicator. This simple but effective tool is used to record and replicate the cross-sectional shape of a surface, particularly for irregular or complex profiles. Key Uses and Features Shape Duplication: The gauge consists of a row of long, thin, movable pins (often made of steel or plastic) that conform to an object's outline when pressed against it. Tracing for Cuts: Once the pins have taken an impression of the shape, the user can lock the pattern in place (if it has a locking mechanism, as many do) and transfer that exact contour onto another material, such as wood, tile, or laminate flooring, to ensure a precise cut. Applications: It is widely used in woodworking, flooring installation, tiling, and general DIY projects for fitting materials around obstacles like pipes, door casings, or moldings. Measurement: The tool body often includes both inch and millimeter ruler markings to aid in measurements.
