Abstract

A gauge for measuring the distance and angle between two pipes is disclosed. The gauge consists of an elongated tubular body section adapted to be rigidly affixed to one of the pipes and including an extendable probe. A target plate is fitted over the other pipe and the extendable probe is brought into contact with the target plate. The angle between the target and the extendable probe, the eccentricity of the extendable probe and the target plate and the length of the combination of the tubular body and the extendable probe gives sufficient dimensions for cutting a curved section of pipe or pup.
