- Biscuit Cutter Gauge
Overview
This gauge shows the exact width and depth of sizes 0, 10 and 20 biscuits slots, allowing you to determine which biscuit size will fit before cutting (and potentially blowing out an edge). Once correctly positioned, the pencil slots allow you to perfectly center your marks. Gauge shows actual cut, which accomodate the swelling of the biscuit once glue is applied. Hole allows it to be hung on the wall.
What's included

I have not used it yet, but I can see how valuable it will be locating the biscuit slot and making the pencil mark precisely. It is bigger than the biscuit, it is the size of the slot cut by the blade. Being able to see where the entire slot will be can save blow out of the side of the piece because I mis-located the slot using only the biscuit. Excellent.
