A nice tool that will last a long time
Freud sells nice tools (I have a Freud biscuit joiner as well) and this marking gauge is no exception. It's perhaps not *quite* as nice as a really fine handmade gauge from Bridge City, but it costs a lot less and 99% of the functionality is there.

I don't have mine anymore- I gave it to a friend who does more cabinetry work, like hand cut tenons, and can make use of the gauge's ability to strike two lines at one pass. If you don't need the ability to lay out tenons at one pass you might choose instead the tool I replaced mine with: The Lee Valley marking gauge. A little more industrial looking, but just as functional and maybe a bit more rugged.

This has a great feel of quality and should have been at home in a custom wood box. The moving scribe and the locking brass knob are a precsion fit. This is a pro kool tool.

A Matter of Preference...
Let me start by saying that using a guage for marking is truly the preference of the craftsman. Depending on the project, I may or may not use this instrument. The functionality is easily replicated by a straightedge and marking knife (or pencil).

What I can tell you about this instrument is that it is a well crafted marking guage made of Rosewood and brass.It scribes very well in both soft and hard woods with minimal tearing. The locking feature is a timesaver, especially if you have the same thickness to layout in several places.

Overall, it has proved invaluable to me when laying out mortises and rabbets. ... Read more
