The second most important tool in cutting dovetails is your marking gauge. The gauge line becomes part of the finished joint. Here is why I think my marking gauge will help you cut better dovetails:
-
The blade comes to you sharpened; designed to sever the wood fibers not crush them, leaving a crisp gauge line.
-
The blade is fixed in use but can be rotated to a sharper area when it gets dull. You can do this several times before having to resharpen.
-
Has a flat section on the brass head preventing the gauge from rolling off of your bench.
-
The face of the head is dead flat, making for precise work.
-
Has a large knurled locking knob that is easy to tighten.
-
Comes standard with the 1/2" diameter cutter head.
-
Extra cutter heads available in 3/8", 7/16", and 5/8" diameters.

The handle is crafted form the same Ebony Swanstone composite material as our saw handles.
