VARSK Contour Gauge Review
The VARSK Contour Gauge Set is a great product for novice modelers and experienced makers alike. This set has proven invaluable in my tool kit with its solid construction, adjustable pins, and easy-to-read scale. The VARSK Contour Gauge Set provides the user with an affordable way to produce precise contours without complicated equipment or measurements.
Each gauge on this set is made from heavy-duty plastic and steel that is light enough to use all day but durable enough to last for years of service. The locking mechanism at the core of each gauge allows you to preserve your settings so you can easily replicate contours again and again without constantly re-adjusting the pins.
The VARSK Contour Gauge Set includes six pins of .05 inch width. After positioning the gauge over an object, press the locking mechanism and slide the pins into the desired depth. Once in position, slide the lock back into place to ensure your measurements stay consistent. The steel at the center of each pin is adjustable with an Allen key to alter tension and control friction, allowing you to adapt each gauge for any contour or object easily.
This set also includes a tool that allows you to measure the surface area and volume of objects that aren’t circular or have flat surfaces. By measuring the area and the volume of cylinders and prismatic shapes, one can figure out the surface area and volume of irregular shapes.
The VARSK Contour Gauge Set is a great tool for modelers because it allows us to precisely match our models’ contours without any complicated equipment or complicated measurements. Translating complex measurement data into easily-digestible measurements allows you to make accurate adjustments that’ll enhance your models.
If you’re looking for an affordable modeling tool, this set is your best bet. The pins’ durable construction combined with a smooth locking mechanism and easy-to-read scale make this an essential addition to any modeler’s tool kit.
