Abstract
A gage for splitting annular seals by establishing two points on a seal's outer edge for cutting lines, and planes through which the cuts should extend. The gage includes two pivotally connected arms equipped with collar assemblies. The collar assemblies include contact edges and offset angle plates. The seal abuts against the contact edges to properly orient the gage and seal. The offset angle plates establish the cutting lines. The gage includes feet which position the gage to stand over the seal.
