Insize Marking Gauge

A marking gauge is a woodworking tool used to accurately mark lines parallel to the edge of a workpiece. It consists of a fence, which runs along the edge of the workpiece, and a marking implement, typically a sharp metal pin or wheel, that scribes a line on the surface. The fence can be adjusted to set the distance between the marking point and the edge of the workpiece, allowing for precise measurements. Marking gauges are essential for laying out joinery, such as mortises and tenons, and for marking out cuts for precise woodworking projects.
