Dual-Purpose Straight & Circular Marking Gauge - Multi-Function Woodworking Layout Tool with Parallel Scriber and Contour Gauge

Product Description:
This Dual-Purpose Marking Gauge is an essential precision tool for any woodworking workshop, masterfully combining the functions of a straight line marker, parallel scriber, and circular contour gauge in one robust instrument. Crafted from high-density hardwood and precision brass components, it allows for effortless layout of both straight lines (parallel to any edge) and perfect circles/arcs. The sharp, hardened steel scriber delivers clean, accurate lines for dovetails, tenons, and other joinery, while its versatile design makes it indispensable for drawing precise contours and profiles.

Key Features & Benefits:

• DUAL-FUNCTION DESIGN: Seamlessly switch between drawing straight lines (via the adjustable fence) and perfect circles/arcs (using the central pivot point) with a single, reliable tool.

• PRECISION PARALLEL LAYOUT: The smooth-sliding fence and micro-adjustable brass thumb wheel allow you to set and maintain exact measurements for marking lines perfectly parallel to any workpiece edge.

• VERSATILE CONTOUR & PROFILING: Effectively acts as a contour gauge or profile gauge, enabling you to transfer complex shapes from templates or existing objects directly onto your wood.

• DURABLE & ACCURATE: Features a hardened steel scoring pin that scores the wood grain cleanly for superior accuracy over a pencil, and a sturdy brass-lined stem that prevents wear and ensures long-term precision.

• ERGONOMIC & USER-FRIENDLY: The comfortably shaped hardwood body and intuitive design make it a pleasure to use, providing professional results for woodworkers of all skill levels.
