About this model

This is a handy tool for anybody that needs to precisely trace the outline of an object that has elevated contours. Great for making equipment case silhouettes for foam cutting, for packaging design, etc. It uses a standard #2 pencil. The two small holes in the body can be tapped for 6-32 x 3/4" screws that will hold the pencil clamp. This newer version adds a small overhang at the bottom of the straight edge, so there is a smaller gap from the end of the guide to the pencil’s tip. #MakersToolsChallenge
