An improvement is possible with a 3D-printed house A clamp with a print. There are considerable kinks in the knob's threads, which cause it to wobble in the handle and only grip the threads of the handle for about 1/2 turn, and that may not hold up So, I will return it as soon as possible since it is no longer usable. Even though the markings on the rod are fairly accurate in relation to the cutter wheel, they are barely readable except in reflected light at certain angles, and therefore are difficult to read. It seems that the metric markings have an added mark at about When viewed from one side, the 5mm mark appears to be elongated. The 1/4" mark does not appear to be elongated either. Unless absolutely necessary, I recommend that you do not use a A few months after I first acquired the marking gauge, I decided to improve it by getting rid of the problematic handle and making my own 3D-printed handle In addition to a printed handle, the gauge has an in-and-out sliding clamp that permits the hand that holds the gauge to hold a measurement or a workpiece while the other is free to hold the gauge. I think the work turned out pretty well, though there are still issues with the scale markings.
There are negative aspects to this product. In addition, the ruler on the bar is etched and nearly impossible to see without the right light. Painting the etching would be very helpful
* There is no micro adjustment for the face. An adjustment track would prevent the face from rotating on the bar. There is not enough contact between the two parts, which means the face works itself lose all the time
Pros * Good materials were used There is no plastic in this world, everything is made from metal.
Sharpening the blade of this gauge will make it work for you, as it will not mark right In order to lock the screw with just one hand, you need to grow a third hand for hold the gauge distance steady, while also using two hands to tighten it so that you don't lose the marking since the gauge is quite As a whole, the program is difficult to use, but if it is adjusted, it can be more easily used. As this gauge is light and will roll easily, it is suggested that you place it at the edge of your table with the screw near the edge of the table so that it does not fall off.
It may seem simple, but how is it that something so straightforward can be so hard to make? There is rust on ALL of the cutters, and they are drilled off center, so they are not square with As a result, the retaining screw has no threads, so it just skips instead of tightening down. This head looks as though someone tried to glue it with a logie. Garbage that won't be of use to me and will be promptly returned.
If you cut a disk, the disk will not be cut. I believe that the best they will do is make a marking on the work piece. A MARKING KNIFE CAN THEN BE USED AS GUIDE TO CUT THE LINE USING A STRAIGHT EDGE. My attempt to sharpen the disk was on a fine diamond plate. A significant amount of damage had been caused and it was nearly impossible to remove. By the time the bur had disappeared, the disk was just as dull as it had been before it had been treated with diamond plates. tried them on pine, alder, maple, oak, and cherry, and they did not make a cut line on any of them. You can save money by just using a marking knife at the beginning.
There were two of these that I purchased and both failed to perform as expected. The markings on a pair of measuring tapes are unreadable, the two cutting blades are broken, and the brass edge guides are separated from the black plastic collars with the turn screws. The quality control has been poor from start to finish.
There is nothing black about the brass part, but there is black about the black part- When I got them out of the box, the glue didn't hold, so I immediately pulled them apart. Three things are wrong with the bar's markings they are very poor and useless. In fact, the cutting wheels I got were useful for my other marking gauge (if gagging) because the wheel that came with it was too small, so I got something useful out of them.
Besides being completely rusted, the gauge's cutting tool was equally as bad. It took just a few minutes to replace the blade with one of the two replacements, but the marking gauge itself snapped after a few minutes.
