Review: On the mark... - I build small keepsake boxes and use two of these on a regular basis. I have the more modern roller type but these give a very clean, precise cut line every time. Yes, they are a bit old school, but the design has been in use for hundreds of years. great product!!
Review: Works perfect! - I’ve been a professional furniture maker for 45 years . I have some expensive marking gauges including the latest ones. This one is better, and cuts a cleaner line than any of them for $20.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Quality - Ignore Reviews Criticizing Blade Not Straight
*by D***R on March 4, 2025*

Reasonable quality, The fit of the body to the sliding rod is not great but doesn’t have to be. this kind of tool is adjusted by tapping lightly with a very small hammer or similar. This tool is designed for cutting a marking line “across the grain”. Not designed for marking “along the grain”. The knife will dig in and follow the grain not the edge of the board. Use a pin or wheel marker instead. To those reviewers who criticize the fact that the blade is not parallel with the face - a cutting gauge is designed to be slid in one direction, not the other, and the angle of the blade drags the fence tight against the edge of the wood so the mark is more accurate. The long fence on this type of gauge helps prevent twisting while marking. Marples “cutting gauges” are available at a similar price point and I would recommend those if you can’t get used to tap and set adjustments :)
