Brass Wheel Marking Gauge- Imperial/Metric
DESCRIPTION :
Wheel Marking Gauge streamlines that critical first step in any handtool joinery project...precise layout. A razor-sharp, ultra-thin circular blade slices woodfibers cleanly, leaving behind a clearly visible line that is less than 1/5 the width of typicalmechanical pencils. Not only is the line crisper, but since it is a cut (instead of merely amark), it provides physical registration for your chisel or saw. A brass referenceplate keeps you solidly on track as you work. And a fine-threaded micro-adjust mechanismmakes controlling the plate-to-blade dimension effortless.
