This has been the Katz-Moses favorite marking gauge for 5 years and an indispensable tool to use when laying out woodworking joinery.
Both Imperial and Metric measurements along the shaft
Head, adjustment knob and tail are all solid brass and incredible gorgeous.
Head is 1.625" (1-5/8") in diameter and can be micro adjusted with one hand using and 0.75" diameter knurled adjustment screw.
Cutter is replaceable (replacements available on our website)
Cutter 0.375" and is made from hardened steel and easily slices across wood grain, both with and against the grain.
The cutter retracts into countersunk head to protect it when not in use.
The steel beam is 7" long by 5/16" in diameter, is hardened and has a groove milled along one edge to prevent head from rotating during fine adjustments.
Learning how to do dovetails, I find accuracy is a essential part of the process. KM Brass Marking Gauge exceeds my expectations on marking hardwoods for cutting pins & 'tails.
United StatesThis is my favorite style of micro adjust marking gauge. Great quality and very reasonable price. I now have a few of these in the shop.
CanadaIt simply does what it is supposed to do. I find myself grabbing it from my apron every time I need to make a mark. And with the micro adjustment it surpasses what I thought I needed. A great tool, love my marking tool.
United StatesI really enjoy using this tool. It is a very high quality tool. I never knew how good it was to use a marking knife until I took a chance and got one
United StatesI have not used this yet. The quality looks good though.
