Hi Tom,
The tightest I could get was about a 4.5 inch radius, a 9 inch diameter circle.
I have an offset base for a router intended for scribing say a cabinet to a
wall, I think I could use the gauge as a wall with the right set-up and arrive
at the same effect.
It might even be possible to clamp the guide to the under side of a sheet and
follow it with a pattern cutting bit bearing. that would be cool!

Dale,
sounds a most interesting gizmo.
Presuming your router is offset say an inch and a half or something from the
gauge, would not the curves radius have to be changed to be shallower on
inside curves and sharper on outside curves so as to get the correct cut?
this could of course be done by making a properly sized marker block to
follow the
curve as the tool would do. Hmmm, Maybe I'm wrong.
Let us know how it works out,
Also, how sharp a radius can you make with it?
Thanks
