The second most important tool in cutting dovetails is your marking gauge. I tweak the WoodRiver marking gauge to "Cosmanize" it.
-
We shape and sharpen the blade to cut a crisp base line.
-
We cut a flat spot on the head to prevent it from rolling off your bench.
-
We recess the head to protect the blade when not in use.
-
We flatten the tool face for accurate registration on the wood.
-
Will accept my mortise gauge attachment.
-
Comes standard with the 7/16" diameter cutter head.
-
Extra cutter heads, with and without rods, are available in 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", and 5/8" diameters.

When I took the gage out of the box and loosened the shaft to set the depth I noticed that there was a lot of rust stains on the shaft where it had been under the head. Some sandpaper removed some of it but there is still some stains. Seems like a wipe with some oil would have prevented this.
Gage, exquisitely sharp, highly recommend!
I like the fit and finish of this marking gauge. And I know if I set it down on the bench it has less chance to end up on the floor broken. Later I would like to get some other rods and blades to go with this. But for now this really suits my needs.
Quality tools as always!
Arrived in good order and conditionearlier than expected. Cuts a line that is easy to see and work to. Extremely happy. Thanks Rob.
