Veritas Dual Marking Gauge 05N70-01

With two independently adjustable rods; this gauge lets you set two measurements at once; so you can quickly alternate between them when transferring or marking repetitive dimensions.

Projection up to 5-3/4inch is easy to set; since an internal O-ring keeps light but constant friction on each rod; a thumbscrew locks the setting.

The hardened steel wheel cutters scribe perfectly at any point of their circumference. Since they cut wood fibers rather than tear; marks are clean; even on cross grain.

The cutting wheels are oriented with opposing bevels; ensuring that you can always set the bevel in the waste side of a cut.

One rod has its cutting edge at the extreme end of the rod; making it useful for transferring dimensions such as tenon shoulder and mortise depth. Each cutter can be retracted into the brass face for safe storage or to permit use with a single cutter. The eccentric placement of the rods ensures a large reference face and helps the gauge resist rolling on a surface.
