Lee Valley pocket marking gauge, a reinterpretation of an unusual double-ended gauge in the Lee Valley antique tool collection. Since it holds two measurements at once (up to 3 1/4" combined), you can alternate between them without resetting.
Lee Valley pocket marking gauge, a reinterpretation of an unusual double-ended gauge in the Lee Valley antique tool collection. Since it holds two measurements at once (up to 3 1/4" combined), you can alternate between them without resetting. It is particularly convenient for transferring and marking repetitive dimensions, such as for mortises and tenons.
A thumbscrew with a brass shoe locks each of the 3/4" diameter heads. The single-sided bevel pulls the gauge against the stock for accuracy, and the cutting edge is at the very end of the rod, also useful for transferring depths. The wheel cutters at each end slice rather than tear fibres, scribing cleanly at any point of their circumference, even across the grain. The 4 1/2" gauge fits easily in an apron pocket, and the wheels retract into the faces for safe storage.
Stainless steel with hardened steel cutters and brass locking shoes. Made in Canada.
