Tite-Mark Marking Gauge

This marking gauge measures up to unrivalled standards of performance and quality. The stem is a steel rod 180mm(7") long by 8mm(5/16") diameter, with a groove along its length to take the clamping screw points and the hardened cutting wheel securely fixed to the end. The solid brass body is in three parts, the central knurled section forms a micrometer adjuster whilst the thumbscrews on the other two sections are used to lock the head. When not in use the blade can be retracted safely into a recess in the head. A beautifully made and very functional tool. The extension rods are supplied as one 75mm and one 150mm rod, these can be used individually or joined to make a single 225mm extension. They can be used with the marking, scoring or morticing blades. The scoring blade is 15mm diameter and used to score thin wood for slicing and snapping or cutting veneer. The mortice blades are supplied as a pair, they are attached to the stem by a simple grub screw, for laying out mortices or other types of complex joinery.
