Description
The Vorel angle template is an adjustable template made of four connected arms, designed for accurately transferring complex geometric shapes, angles and dimensions to the material being worked. The tool works with hinged, grooved arms whose position can be locked mechanically in the shape you want with tightening screws. This lets you mark the same shape repeatedly without measuring again in industrial and construction processes.
The body of the product is made of high-quality ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which guarantees mechanical impact resistance, light weight and good dimensional stability in varying conditions of use. A clearly legible, wear-resistant metric scale is set into the body, which lets you determine linear dimensions while taking the angle. The overall external dimensions of the tool are 310 x 175 x 25 mm.
The hinged construction consists of four movable elements that give a free coordinate system and allow shapes to be copied even in confined or hard-to-reach structures. The usable measuring range of the metric scale is 250 mm on the long sides and 120 mm on the short transverse sides. The mechanical locking system guarantees that the set shape cannot shift while it is marked or transferred to the material.
The angle template offers high industrial value by minimising measuring errors and speeding up the fitting of piece goods and surface materials. Its design reduces offcuts and speeds up marking, especially for irregular lines. The tool is suitable as part of the standard measuring equipment on installation projects that call for repeatable, geometrically complex shaping.
Intended use and suitability:
The product is designed for use in a wide range of measuring, levelling and shape-copying tasks in construction, finishing and manufacturing.
- Floor covering and tiling: The tool is used for fitting ceramic tiles, laminate, parquet and vinyl flooring into room corners, around pipe penetrations and around pillars. The adjustable arms copy the space left by the obstacle exactly, and the shape is transferred directly to the material to be cut.
- Plasterboard installation and interior construction: Suitable for transferring irregular wall lines, ceiling angles and openings to plasterboard or panels, which reduces faulty installation caused by measuring and speeds up the fitting of joints.
- Masonry and stone work: Lets you determine the cutting angles of bricks, paving stones and kerbs accurately at curves, corners and junctions, ensuring an even and technically correct joint width.
Package contents:
- 1 pc adjustable Vorel 18470 angle template with metric scale
- 4 pcs threaded mechanical locking screws with washers (pre-fitted)
Features:
- Material: Made of impact-resistant ABS plastic, which ensures a long life cycle and reduces the weight of the tool in use.
- Four-arm hinged system: Four independently moving arms allow polygonal and irregular geometries to be copied.
- Two-way scale: The clear 250 x 120 mm metric scale makes it easier to measure length at the same time without a separate tape measure.
- Mechanical locking: The tightening screws hold the chosen angle fixed during transfer and marking, preventing play between the arms.

- Scale measuring range: Long arms 250 mm, short arms 120 mm
- Unit of measurement: Metric (mm / cm)
- Material: ABS plastic
- Colour: Yellow / black tightening screws
Vorel 18470 instructions for use:
Loosen the four black locking screws of the angle template so that the arms move freely in their grooves without much resistance. Place the tool against the object to be measured or copied (for example a wall corner or a pipe) and adjust the arms to follow the exact shape of the object. Once you have the shape and angle you want, tighten all the locking screws clockwise by hand so that the position of the arms is locked.
Lift the tool carefully off the object without changing the shape. Place the locked angle template on the material to be worked (such as a tile or a wooden board) and draw the shape with a pencil or scriber along the inner or outer edge of the tool. Work or cut the material according to the marks. After use, loosen the screws and fold the arms on top of each other for storage.
Warnings:
- Do not overtighten the locking screws with tools, so that the threads and the ABS plastic body are not damaged.
- Do not expose the tool for long periods to temperatures above +60 °C or to direct contact with hot surfaces, to avoid deforming the body.
- Clean the tool with a dry or damp cloth; do not use strong solvents or acetone-based chemicals, which can damage the ABS plastic or wipe off the scale.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Can the Vorel 18470 angle template measure degrees directly as a number?
No, the tool has only a metric scale (mm/cm) for measuring length. It is designed for physically transferring and copying shapes and angles, not for reading degrees as numbers.
Does the product’s material withstand impacts on a construction site?
The product is made of technical ABS plastic, which has good mechanical impact resistance in ordinary drops. It should still be handled as a measuring tool and must not be subjected to heavy point loads.
Recycling instructions:
At the end of its life cycle, the product itself (ABS plastic body and plastic screw components) is sorted as rigid plastic waste or recycled as energy waste according to local regulations. Any metal washers or screw parts are separated for metal collection. The cardboard or plastic retail packaging is sorted into cardboard or plastic packaging collection accordingly.
