Wheel Marking Gauge Kit - 2 Extra Cutter Wheels, Roll Stop Head, Micro Adjuster, Metric Imperial Ruler, 7'' Brass Marker Tool for Woodwork

A revised review (3 stars) has been published As a result of the previous review, the seller reached out to me and sent me a replacement product at no cost. The overall impression I have of the product has remained about the same, but I am very pleased with the customer service. Although the knurling on the set screws is slightly better than my other gauge, it is not as good as mine. In my opinion, the main problem is how micro adjust is applied to this and similar gauges if they don't have Just the micro adjust and rock solid settings I get on my Veritas gauge are much better.

With an increase in savings of $10, If you consider the price to be important to you, then I believe this is probably a solid product at this price as similar products at the $30 price point likely have the same problems. Having said that, if saving money were the main concern, I would choose their non- electric option instead This problem does not appear to be present in the micro adjust version. For me, I would be willing to pay the additional $10-$15 I would like to have a better product that is machined to a bit higher tolerance and does not allow for any error in use if looking for a gauge with micro adjustment. The reviews were decent, thus I ordered it, but I have not been satisfied. It is extremely difficult to lock the set screws in place because of the slippery knurling on them. When the screws are loosened, there is a lot of swaying of the rod within the body as a result of these poor tolerances. While everything is tightened down on both set screws even with a micro adjuster this can cause the whole thing to become out of position because the knurling allows you to reverse and overcome the clamping force. The overall impression I would like to convey is that I would rather just pay a few dollars more and buy a better quality gauge. For example, the standard veritas one is very close to this in price. The cost difference will be made up for the first time I make a mistake with this gauge. Despite the fact that the cutter does seem to be nice and sharp and that it will work if you do not bump it out of alignment, I would not describe it as easy to use or pleasant to use.

This type is superior to others I have used. I use this one a lot for laying out joinery, since it is a fine piece of equipment. A simple setting and a reliable locking mechanism make it easy to set. Moreover, there are two knurled knobs on the shaft that allow it to be locked. In one, the gauge is locked in place, and in the other, the shaft is locked to the micrometer The mechanism for making adjustments. In order to use the microcontroller To adjust, loosen the main locking knob by turning a few turns and tighten the micro-screws Turn the knob to adjust. There is some "play" in the thread for the micro-commentaries It does not have an adjustable mechanism, but there is a nylon set screw that you can adjust so everything stays put when you engage the micro-adjust The microcomputer can be used if the settings are adjusted If the gauge setting needs to be adjusted in either direction, nudge it a bit before locking it. Set the main lock knob to the correct setting, then tighten it. The gauge has some depth markings, but they do not seem to be very useful to me. Most of the time, I set the gauge using a combination square or the thickness of a workpiece as a guide. It is nearly daily that I use this gauge, and I am hopeful that it will serve me for many years to come.

There are a number of wheel marking gauges I have I have the TieMark version and I have the Taylor Tools version and i have the iGaging version. TiteMark, Taylor tools, and Clark Brothers gauges all work in the same way. The way they operate is the same. The Clark Brothers gauge is not built to the same standard as the TiteMark, but it is about one-half the price of the TiteMark. Clark Brother gauges are about a third the price of Clark Brother ones, but they have considerable lash in their mechanisms. As we can see, this is not a terrible sign, but it does indicate that the tool is not built to the exact specification as the TiteMark. There is some sharpness to the cutting wheel, but it is not as sharp as a If you sharpen it, you could probably make it better. Placing the rod face down on a sharpening stone after removing it from the beam will help it become sharp. You can move your finger around the stone by putting it on it. As long as the TiteMark wheel can be mounted on the Clark Brothers beam, it will be able to be sharpened. I think it's acceptable, but it's not very sharp There is just one thing that There is no point to the markings on the beam to be used, and they should be ignored. Using a rule will allow you to set the distance, or you can decide what the distance should be based on what you're doing. Inclusion of all- The marking gauge is a good value, especially for its price. My advice to Clark Brothers would be to improve the fit on the adjustment wheel so there aren't so many threads to make a difference.

In addition, this pen feels extremely heavy and good to the touch, and when properly set, makes a fine line precisely. The cons are There is no way to read the projection bars without magnifiers and even then, the lines are too fine and do not contrast from the bars. gates are normally adjusted either by locking or unlocking the adjustment mechanisms, thus allowing the fence bar to move freely It was a bit too free-spirited It is for this reason that the nylon set screw was used, to allow for some friction so that the bar does not move In order to set the right depth, I use a depth gauge since the gradations are difficult to read. * Overall, this item is a bit clumsy to use and the depth adjustment can be a bit of an undertaking. With nothing to fumble around, I want something I can read and set without any hassles.

In the case of readability Stay on the lookout. The design and build quality are of the highest quality and timeless There is no issue of legibility OTHER than the Apparently I'm getting old and my arms aren't long enough to see my phone screen, or I suddenly have to use a magnifier. I'm not sure what it is but it's either the lighting in my tiny shop or my swayback chair isn't great. The problem may be specific to my unit only I know the scales on this device won't help me in the long run, but if my life depended on it, I'd try. That's all I have left. In addition to being tiny, blurry, and not contrasting with the chrome, the markings do not appear crisp and clear. My job is engineering, so I have plenty of tiny scales that are easy to read and easy to use (even with my sudden short arms). There are none of them here. It would have been nice to have found another marking gauge that was readable, and I would have been willing.
