Wood Cutting Tools

Same tool, bigger size. The 10-inch Khorasan contour gauge copies large profiles exactly — flooring transitions, stair treads, wide trim, and large moldings — so the cut you make fits the first time.

Press the gauge against the shape, horizontally, with the pins on the two long side edges. The fine pins slide and take on the exact profile. Lock it with the black metal lock bar, trace the copied shape onto your board, cut it — and it fits.

How to use it:

1. Hold the gauge with both hands on top, on the lock bar.
2. Press the long side edges against the shape, horizontally — never vertically, and never with the pins pointing down.
3. Tighten the two small adjustment screws to lock the pins in place.
4. Trace the copied profile onto your board, then cut.

What is included: the 10-inch gauge, the metal lock bar with two small adjustable screws, and a mechanical pencil for tracing.

Price: $14.99. Shop the 10-inch gauge.

For small work — trim, tile, tight corners — the 5-inch gauge is the match. For both sizes plus the 3-fold angle ruler, see the 10" & 5" Contour Gauge Set ($23.99).
