Cylinder Templates: STL Models for Drilling and Cutting

This collection gathers STL files that work as templates, jigs and guides built around cylinders and round profiles. It covers drilling templates for locks and handles, pipe cut jigs, parametric profiles and diameter adapters. The models help when you need to transfer a hole pattern or a cut line onto a round part during 3D printing or workshop work. Polyzon does not confirm whether models are free, their price, license, official status, affiliation, safety or fitness. Check the current terms at the source.

How this collection is put together

Polyzon assembles this collection from search results on the connected platforms. Repeats and models without a preview are removed, weak matches go to the end, and the rest keeps the search order. Models belong to their authors — check the terms on each model's page.

About the category

«Cylinder Templates: STL Models for Drilling and Cutting»

Drilling and marking templates are usually flat plates with holes that follow a lock, handle or flange pattern, while pipe cut jigs wrap around a tube and hold a saw or marker at a fixed angle. Parametric files differ in that diameter, wall thickness or hole spacing is set in the source script before export. Adapters and reducers are solid bodies that change one round diameter into another, and simple guides or stencils are used for drawing circles, ellipses and outlines.

On the author's model page, check the stated diameter range, the number of parts and whether they are meant to be glued, bolted or clamped together. Look at whether supports are needed for overhangs, and which material and layer height the author lists. Photos of real prints help you judge how thin walls and tight tolerances behave in your own setup.

If a search returns little, try synonyms such as jig, fixture, gauge, stencil, marking guide or drill bushing instead of template. Related topics include pie cut, flange, bolt circle, lock cylinder, pipe diameter and parametric OpenSCAD models. Adding a diameter, thread size or profile name to the query narrows the results quickly.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can a cylinder template be used for?
Typical uses are marking hole positions on a round part, guiding a drill or saw, or checking a diameter before cutting. The exact purpose is described on the author's model page.
How do I pick the right size for a pipe cut jig?
Match the jig's inner diameter to the outer diameter of your tube, including any coating. If the file is parametric, set the value in the source and export the STL again.
Do printed templates need supports?
That depends on the geometry: flat plates usually print without them, while ring-shaped jigs may have overhangs. Check the author's print settings and the orientation shown in the photos.
Can I scale a template to another size?
Scaling changes hole diameters and wall thickness along with the outline, so a scaled template may no longer match the original pattern. Adjusting parameters in the source file is more predictable than uniform scaling.
