yes, it is a ruler based device with multiple thin slides that lock with which you can align and then same shape to any variable edge or inside corner
or free rolling radius.
once you have "patterned" and set you can transfer the rule and make an opposing cut for tile wood or whatever you need to conform to.
it is a finish trim carpenter's tool and tile setters need them too.
i like how the name has evolved.
early versions might have been simple runs of thin lead. a mfgrd one is different.

I've seen them with the adjustible edge looking like a line of finish nails, each moving independently.
I don't know how I've lived my long life without one.

Help
This is Norm from Centenario and I'm not an idiot- and I'm not Kat54. As many on this board will verify- I don't post much and don't get into personal
conflict. So try someone else as I'm not your punching bag-- Oh and I can spell pretty good most of the time- my typing sometimes is not so
good...Norm

I've met Norm. He is definitely not Kat54. He does not get into personal conflict.
If one tried to force such intellectual engagement....they would lose....huge.

Thaks Kay-- not sure how I got into the middle of this as I sent a private email to abductor telling him I was going to build in Centenario and to let
me know if he thought he might be interested in providing any guidance. Bad move on my part.
but I don't play insulting games through electronic mediums so if abductor is looking for Kat54 he'll have to keep looking--
thanks again-- Norm

what planet have you been on?
as someone who has no inclination to rent or own transit for home handyman work, grading of backyard, etc., water level (poly tube and water) is
great.

"what planet have you been on?"
not yours apparently..gracias a dios!!
what does my location have to do with your choice of worker bee tools anyway? for your little yard projects....whoopie....do you have a tonka truck
and loader too? you could build a sand box....
from what i can gather the "water level" , while it certainly must be functional, is not nearly as easy to use as a builders level.
i bet i can take way more elevational shots faster and note them than what you can do with your tube....

The water level is much easier for the average abanil to obtain, maintain, transport, and use, plus you can't siphon gas with a transit level.

capt cracker:
try using your 3-ft-long carpenters level across 50 foot distance
60 feet of poly tubing is smaller/cheaper than transit, and more accurate than $30 laser level that loses calibration on same day it leaves china mfg

so you think a water level would work in space station in absence of gravity?

A water level gives you a level reference between point A and point B.
Why would you be comparing this method with those that deem the water level as inadaquate?
It does what it's supposed to do, unlike some of you lazy a-holes who should be working on your Baja project instead of running your fantasys as
reality.
