The Narex Wheel Marking Gauge is made from polished brass and stainless steel and has a lovely reassuring weight in the hand.
- The head of the gauge is eccentrically turned so the collar holds the stainless rod off-centre and this effectively increases the registration surface in contact with the wood and makes the gauge more comfortable to hold, so it's as nimble as a 30mm head, but sits against the wood like a 50mm!
- The hardened tool steel cutter is countersunk so you can set the required offset for your mark with gauge blocks or directly off an internal corner of another component, and it also recedes fully into the face of the head for safe storage
- The stem of the gauge is graduated in both metric and imperial and is secured with an excellent wide diameter knurled screw that locks and unlocks effortlessly and also serves to prevent the gauge from rolling around on your workbench
- Narex has succeeded in producing a marking gauge that ticks all the critically important boxes and comes in at a price that makes it realistic to have two or three in the workshop so that they can remain set for the duration of a project
