78 Inch Woodworking Profiling Strip, Flexible Curve Template, Excellent Rebound, Adjustable & Fixed Complex Shape Contour Woodworking Tool Templates Guide for Transferring Curved Patterns

This tool is incredible for guys who don't have a huge woodworking shop but need to make templates for radius cuts. I use this in the shop and on the job site. it is super easy to use and works great. A great value for the price point.

It tried, but it does not work for me. Very low quality product!

Very pleased with this product. It was exactly what I was expecting and the listing described it perfectly. It is great quality and value. I highly recommend!

I feel like the pictures are a little misleading with this product. To use this guide, you have to lay out the curve and then carefully screw it to the work surface every couple of inches. One limitation is that your work piece either has to be able to tolerate a lot of screw holes. If not, you have to make a template with this guide and then use the template to make your final cut.One of the pictures shows someone running the router on top of a board with the template underneath. I guess you could, but that isn't ideal. You'll get better results cutting it close with a bandsaw or a jigsaw and the shaving off the last little bit with a pattern cutting bit on a router. That would also lessen the load on the router since it would have to take off less material. The guide isn't super rigid either, so it will give a little if you push up against it too hard with the router.It's not a bad tool, but I think it is a bit expensive for a strip of plastic. Still, it does have its uses but understand it will take a lot of fussing with it if you want a specific shape as you try to form it then secure it one screw at a time. Best bet is to use this to make a template, then clean up the template with a spindle sander if needed. Once you're happy with the profile then you can make your final cut on a router table or with a handheld router.

This guide works great for making templates for routing. It's simple and it does what it's supposed to do. Held securely in place using small screws in the screw holes. Yes, you want this!

Needed one for a project but this product would not hold any shape Maybe I got a defected one but would not recommend this product.

I was able to make this work o.k. for large curves. Don't expect to be able to make any tight-radius bends though. It won't hold shape.Also, when you run your flush trim bit against this guide, you need to be able to see it because you will have a tendency to push too hard and deform it if you're not looking at it.This strip requires that you nail it to the piece you are trimming. So you will be left with nail holes in your workpiece. Now, if you can't have nail holes, you use this to make your template and use that template to make your final piece.So yes, it has it's uses but it takes more fiddling around with than I thought it would.

Does not hold shape of needed cut
