Is a wheel marking gauge the right choice for you?
If you’ve ever had a pin marking gauge wander in the grain, you’ll appreciate the difference a wheel marking gauge can make.
Here’s Peter Sefton’s take…
“Traditional pin gauges take time to master and wheel marking gauges can be easier for those struggling with inaccuracy.”
Why use a wheel marking gauge?
They don’t follow the grain and can also be used across the grain, like a traditional cutting gauge.
No more struggling with a ruler
Wheel marking gauges have millimetre graduations along the stem and fine adjusters for dialling in the correct size.
Peter recommends
A Dual Marking Gauge – what are the benefits?
✓ Two stems and opposing cutting wheels
✓ Dual purpose - use it as a single marking gauge or a mortise gauge using both wheels
✓ Opposing bevels mean the bevel is always on the waste side, giving the cleanest line
The takeaway
Stop wrestling with pin gauges - wheel gauges make accurate marking effortless.
