How to use a radius gauge as a template for scribing?

Shop for Radius Gauges

Step 1 – Choose gauge

Choose an individual radius gauge.

Step 2 – Select projection

Select a concave or convex projection from the edge of the gauge to use as a guide for your marking.

Step 3 – Place gauge

Place the gauge against the work piece on which you want to leave a radius reference.

Step 4 – Select scribing tool

Choose a scriber or pencil depending on the permanency you wish to leave on the surface you are marking on.

Step 5 – Mark radius

Mark the work piece around the radius back and forth a number of times to make sure a clear marking is left for future reference. If creating a corner, make sure the gauge meets at ‘points of tangency’ (when both sides are met by the gauge).
