The scribe has also been upgraded to a carbide tipped, replaceable version. For example, the stainless steel wear plate will easily outlast the more common brass or wood versions. Our new marking gauge incorporates (and even improves upon) a number of features that woodworkers have valued on traditional marking gauges. The stubby beam provides 1-3/8” of reach –more than ample capacity for most cabinetry and furniture projects. You'll notice the better balance, control and accuracy the moment you put this tool in your hand. Woodpeckers Stubby Marking Gauge is easier to handle than standard marking gauges. When you're scribing a short offset, excess beam length interferes with your grip on the tool, making the gauge unwieldy and difficult to control. We shortened the beam to the length needed for most layout operations. Order yours today! Delivery is scheduled for November, 2017.Īll Woodpeckers tools are manufactured using state-of-the-art CNC equipment in our shop located near Cleveland, Ohio.As the name suggests, Woodpeckers Stubby Marking Gauge lacks the long beam found on most other marking gauges.

And should the wheel get dull all around, it can be sharpened by honing the flat surface on a stone or diamond plate. When the tool-steel marking wheel gets dull in one section, it’s easy to rotate it to a fresh, sharp section. The bar itself is ¾” diameter which gives you a solid grip on the tool. And if you are a metric fan, both gauges are available with millimeter scales. And the bar has two, precision, laser-engraved Imperial 1/32” scales one for the wheel marker and one for the pencil marker. The knurled knob also has a protective nylon tip to prevent marring the tool’s bar. The large, knurled locking knob features a built-in hex wrench to tighten or loosen the wheel cutter and spacers. The spacers, extra wheel marker and pencil are safely stored onboard in the “non-business” end of the tool. Using Optional spacers and a second marking wheel, you can lay down dual scribe lines in 1/16” increments from ⅛” to ½”, all in one pass. These larger reference surfaces provide greater control for more precise marking. The robust fence sizes are 3½“ long for the 6” marking gauge and 6½” for the Panel Gauge. But Woodpeckers Marking Gauges offer soo much more! The start with a thin steel bar, attach a round, hardened steel cutting blade to one end, engrave scales and slide a relatively small, round fence on the bar with a locking knob. As you know, most all other wheel marking gauges, both the better ones and the cheap copies, are pretty much the same.

There’s a lot more to these tools than dual purpose marking. These Marking Gauges Are Not Just A “Two Trick” Pony. To advance the pencil lead when in use, just turn the screw! The pencil is designed for commonly available. The pencil, which stores in the hollow opening in the end of the bar, is easily screwed in place when needed.
