    Default Contour gauge usage


    Can any carpenters out there explain to me why the end of a contour gauge is angled? I have no idea at all!

    Flat ends would stop on a high spot if you were using it for stone. Instead of the contour at the point you’d want, you’d get the highest bump witching the width of the pins.
    Thanks silverside thanked you for this post

    I would have never figured that out if I lived to be 200. Thank you so much for the help
