I purchased this flexible curve to copy existing curves and to mark the same curves on various pieces of wood, however the flexible curve was in the package too long and developed a kink. I am unable to use it as it does not conform and hold the sweeping curve because of the permanent kink.

To transfer a curve into the shop for a project. It doesn't work very well, though. It can't seem to keep the shape of the curve. It has a tendency to want to straighten out. Somewhat useless item.

Doesn't hold shape - Great for measuring, not for drawing
I wanted to use this for laying out a smooth curve for drawing a glass cutting marker line, but it had the problem of not holding it's shape when released after I bent it to the form I wanted.
However, I think it would be great for measuring where you confirmed it to some surface, but for my needs I just got the wrong thing.

This curve is too flexible for my liking
The curve is well built but it is a bit too flexible for my liking. It doesn't really hold the shape while transferring the profile to a second piece of wood. The concept is good but a stiffer material would be a better choice.

Nice idea, not effective
Although the concept of being able to make a custom curve shaped to your liking is nice, this item cannot hold the curve and is to fragile to bend while you try to use it.

Not a very high quality product. Flexible curve will not hold its shape. Similarly, the ruler on the face tends to move around, rendering it useless for actual measurement.Bottom line: inability to hold it's shape and the lack of a useful ruler are sending this item to the bottom of the drawer. I do not recommend.
