Trace the pipe once and the cut fits the first time. The gauge copies the exact profile of a pipe, skirting board or door casing onto your board, so you stop recutting laminate and tile. Its ribbed teal body and metric scale make it a compact tool you will reach for on every job.
Copy any irregular shape exactly for a perfect fit on the first cut
- measuring around pipes and obstacles
- cutting laminate or tile to fit uneven walls
- transferring odd contours without guesswork
Copy any irregular shape, and cut it right first time
Stop kneeling over pipes and skirting boards guessing at curves. Press the gauge to the obstacle, lock the profile, and mark a fit that holds.
Locks the shape so you mark it, not guess it
Sliding pins copy the curve
Each pin slides until it meets the surface in front of it, so the comb records the exact contour of a pipe, radiator valve or skirting edge in one press. Press firmly and evenly so every pin seats before you lock it.
Release button locks the shape
Once the pins are seated, the release button fixes the profile in place. Lift the gauge straight off the obstacle and the outline comes with it, ready to trace onto the board.
Built-in metric scale
A centimetre scale runs along the ruler, so you measure and mark with the same tool. The ribbed sides keep a firm grip while you work along a wall or across a floor.
Press, lock, trace, cut
- 1Press the comb to the obstacle
Push the gauge against the pipe, skirting or door casing so every pin touches the surface. Loose pins copy a flatter shape, so press firmly.
- 2Lock the profile
Hit the release button to fix the pins in place. Keep the lock engaged while you lift the gauge straight off.
- 3Trace the outline
Set the gauge on the back of the plank, the trim or masking tape over the tile, and run a pencil around the pin edge.
- 4Cut along the line
Cut on the marked line and test the fit. Pencil on the finished face of laminate can be hard to clean off, so mark the back.

Questions and answers
Yes, that is the job it is made for. The pins follow whatever surface they touch, so a copper pipe, radiator valve or uneven skirting edge gets copied point for point. Press firmly and the outline transfers cleanly to the board.
It does. The release button fixes the pin profile in place, so the shape holds while you lift the gauge off the wall and set it on the board. Lock it before you move the tool.
Yes. Set the gauge on the back of the plank or on masking tape over the tile, trace the contour, and cut along the line. Marking the back keeps pencil off the finished face.
The body is matte ribbed plastic with a black sliding ruler and a metal-look scale strip. The ribbed grip edges hold up to daily handling on a job, and the rear handle gives a second grip point.
Cardboard drifts once you lift it off the wall, and string sags into the wrong shape. The gauge locks the profile mechanically, so the outline matches the obstacle. One tool replaces a stack of cardboard templates and the offcuts from recuts, and it is ready for the next job.
No. The built-in scale is metric and marked in centimetres, so imperial users will need a conversion chart for their measurements.
