This off center placement provides more surface area for the head to ensure square registration with your stock and keeps the gauge from rolling about on your benchtop.  The head and body of the gauge slides easily on the\n   \u003cb\u003e\n    non-graduated rod\n   \u003c\/b\u003e\n   and locks securely in place with a large brass knurled knob.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The wheel cutter is far superior over pin scoring marking gauges since you don’t have to tilt the gauge to scribe a chatter-free line and the cutter will avoid the annoying tendency of following wood grain.  Veritas’ cutter wheel, with a single sided bevel, helps draw the gauge up against your stock to maintain accuracy.  You can also use the rod to accurately transfer depth dimension settings on your projects.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   The end of the rod and cutter fully retract into the head’s face to stay protected during storage and allow the gauge to sit upright.  The stainless steel rod is available separately as an upgrade for earlier versions of the Veritas Wheel Marking gauges.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n   Made in Canada.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c!--\n\nOLD COPY \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cutting wheel on these gauges starts and marks smoothly, without having to worry about attack angle and without tearing during cross-grain marking.\n The hardened steel wheel is ground sharp with the bevel on the inside, so it naturally pulls the gauge tight against your stock and resists following uncooperative grain.\n Available with standard unmarked bar or with bars graduated in inches or millimeters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese wheel marking gauges from Veritas include a clever micro-adjusting wheel.  Simply tighten the collet on the bar, rotate the fence body to adjust the measurement,\n tighten the thumbscrew, and you're ready to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n--\u003e\n  \u003c!--\n\nMFG PROPAGANDA\n\nRefined and redesigned, our new micro-adjust wheel marking gauge draws on two decades of manufacturing experience, with subtle improvements across the board.\n\nThe adjustment mechanism built into the stainless-steel rod is intuitive to use. After setting the approximate projection, you can fine-tune the position of the\n cutter within a range of 1\/4\". A fine-pitch internal thread allows slow, careful adjustment, so setting the gauge precisely is a snap.\n\nLocking knobs keep the setting from shifting in use. The eccentric placement of the rod through the brass face and aluminum body ensures a large reference surface\n for square registration on the stock and helps the gauge resist rolling on a bench top.\n\nOf course, the core of the marking gauge is still the hardened steel wheel cutter, which solves the two main problems of a pin-based marking gauge – the need to\n tilt it just right to avoid chatter, and the tendency of the pin to follow the wood grain, throwing off your line. It scribes perfectly at any point of its circumference, cutting neat marks even on cross grain.\n\nThe wheel's single-sided bevel also pulls the gauge face against the stock, helping to maintain accuracy. Its cutting edge is at the extreme end of the rod, useful\n for transferring dimensions such as tenon shoulder and mortise depth, and retracts into a hollow in the gauge face for protection.\n\nWe also offer the micro-adjust rod separately from the gauge body to let you easily upgrade a Veritas standard wheel marking gauge you own with the new adjustment mechanism.\n\n \tA little over 6-3\/4\" overall\n\tBrass face and aluminum body\n\tStainless steel rod\n\tFine adjustment mechanism with a range of 1\/4\"\n\tLarge reference surface for square registration\n\tHardened steel wheel cutter\n\tCutter position allows use as a depth gauge\n\t5\/16\" rod is compatible with our other wheel marking gauges\n\tMade in Canada\n\n--\u003e\n \n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Veritas Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50822007980314,"sku":"177138","price":61.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5167\/3370\/files\/177138d.jpg?v=1768342689","url":"https:\/\/www.highlandwoodworking.com\/products\/veritas-improved-micro-adjusting-wheel-marking-gauge","provider":"Highland Woodworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
