With two independently adjustable rods, this gauge lets you set two measurements
at once, so you can quickly alternate between them when transferring or marking
repetitive dimensions.
Projection up to 5-3/4" is easy to set, since an internal O-ring keeps
light but constant friction on each rod; a thumbscrew locks the setting. The
hardened steel wheel cutters scribe perfectly at any point of their circumference.
Since they cut wood fibers rather than tear, marks are clean, even on cross
grain. The cutting wheels are oriented with opposing bevels, ensuring that you
can always set the bevel in the waste side of a cut.
One rod has its cutting edge at the extreme end of the rod, making it useful
for transferring dimensions such as tenon shoulder and mortise depth. Each cutter
can be retracted into the brass face for safe storage or to permit use with
a single cutter. The eccentric placement of the rods ensures a large reference
face and helps the gauge resist rolling on a surface.
Aluminum housing with brass face and stainless-steel rods. 7-1/4" overall.
