I draw alot of cut-sheets and I'm looking for this tool. I have seen it many times but never aquired it for myself because I used to be paid to draw. But now I find it a necessity. It will draw most fittings, even canvas connections. Anyone ever seen or heard of where to find this tool? Pics or websites are a must!

When I was making duct work I always just made my own templates for 90* and 45* ells for large jobs. Just make one side of the largest ell that you are going to need and notch back 1" down the sides. A scratch compass and a steel rule for connecting the lines and your done. Of course I did this until we got hold of a plazma duct machine, then there was no use for the templates anymore.

I don't miss making sheet metal fittings but it did make my day fly by and I was always whiped out at the end of the day. The worse days were the sub 30* temps in the shop. It would take half the day before the metal would warm enough to be comfortable working with it.
