This 37-inch flexible steel curve template by O'skool is designed for woodworkers, craftspeople, and metalworkers who need to accurately transfer custom curved shapes. Its key benefit is the independent, lockable sections that allow for precise, replicable curve creation. A potential caveat is that delicate curves may require careful handling to maintain their exact shape.

The template is designed to create a wide range of curves, from gentle arcs to tighter bends, depending on how you articulate the individual sections. There isn't a strict maximum radius, but very tight circles might be challenging to maintain with perfect form.
It is best to store the template flat in a dry place. Avoid coiling it too tightly or placing heavy objects on top of it to preserve its shape and locking function.
Yes, it can be used for transferring curved patterns onto metal sheets for fabrication. However, for very thick metals, it serves primarily as a pattern guide rather than a cutting tool.
While made of flexible metal, it is recommended to keep the template dry and clean to prevent potential rust or corrosion over time.
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. If more thorough cleaning is needed, use a slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately afterward.
This allows for the creation of highly customized and complex curves that would be impossible with a single-piece curve. You can precisely shape the template to match intricate designs.
Ensure the locking mechanism for each section is fully engaged. If a section is damaged, it may need replacement.
Adjust individual sections slowly and evenly. Ensure there are no obstructions or excessive force applied in one area. For very gentle curves, consider using fewer adjustment points.
Ensure the template is laid flat on the material and held firmly while tracing. Use a fine-tipped marking tool for precision.
Setup: To use the template, simply bend each section to the desired curve and ensure each segment is securely locked in place. For complex shapes, adjust section by section, checking the overall flow. Once the desired curve is achieved and locked, lay the template onto your material and trace the outline.
Compatibility: This template is compatible with a wide array of materials including wood, metal, plastic, leather, fabric, foam, and composite materials. It works effectively with tools like routers, jigsaws, marking tools, and cutting implements.
Care: After use, clean the template with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove any dust or debris. Store it flat or in a protected case to prevent accidental bending or damage to the locking mechanisms. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture or corrosive substances to maintain its integrity.
