Overview

This versatile gauge lets you make perfect hairline layout marks both with and across wood grain. The hardened steel cutting wheel is beveled on one side, creating a natural pull that forces the face of the gauge against your work piece for straight, wander-free marks. Features a solid brass body, knurled lock nut, graduated scales and a recess to protect the cutter in storage.

Features:
  • Shaft has graduated scales (1 mm and 1/8 inch increments) for easy reference
  • Doubles as a depth gauge
  • Great for quick measurement transfers
  • Wheel retracts into face of the gauge for protection and easy vertical storage
  • Free-spinning wheel cuts wood fibers - doesn't tear them
  • Designed for comfortable one-handed operation
  • Balanced feel

accuracy in marking
paul r on Feb 4, 2017
Although I like my traditional rosewood marking gauges, the metal ones are just easier to adjust and I can see what I am doing better because the marking wheel is visible from above whereas the marking pins on traditional gauges are hidden underneath.

Comparing old and new
I really wanted to buy the more old fashioned wood gauge - pictured herewith. But Rockler only stocked what I assume is a more modern tool. I LOVED the store and the guys in there were great! I'll be going back.

Love it!
I bought one of these for myself last summer, and ended up buying several more this summer to supply a college woodshop. They're great; and the only inexpensive marking gauge that I found that had measurements on the tool itself (which is very helpful for students).
