Above right is a later 2153 probably c.1962, not ‘plated’ and made of ‘Selected hardwood’, but showing the circular head tightening bolt. It had the additional point so as to act as a Marking Gauge, very similar to the #2153.1/2 gauge of 1938. Not marked as #2153T, but it should be! Below here is some additional information that is very difficult to incorporate into the above Charts: The fence has large enough that it butts up against the edge of a workpiece to easily make a measurement. Your support will help me to deliver the best William Marples information on the entire internet. Thank you. The cutting gauge uses a knife instead of a pin to mark wood. This allows it to make a deeper marking, meaning it can be used against the wood grain. One side of the knife will have a bevel (a sloping edge) to make the knife point, this should face the fence so that it is waste side of the work piece (the side of the wood that will be cut off).
A mortise gauge or mortice gauge is a woodworking tool used by a carpenter or joiner to scribe mortise and tenon joints on wood prior to cutting. Gauge # 2052B. below is c.1928 and has a Polished Half Round unplated Boxwood Head and Stem with a Boxwood Thumbscrew. [Unfortunately the latter was not restorable to its’ original colour] First of all, there’s no need to tilt the device or force it forward to mark your piece. Since it’s smooth and rounded, you don’t need to tilt the cutter like you do with an old-school pin model.
Subtotal:
They also often use a wooden wedge to hold the stem in place (although thumb screws are also common). These are adjusted by light taps of a mallet, which can take a while to master. A marking gauge is a simple tool used to scribe one or two parallel lines onto a piece of wood (or sometimes, metal). These lines are used as a reference for other tasks, enabling precise cuts when resawing or tight-fitting joinery that will stand the test of time.
Placing the TurfChek I on the overlap between two runs, or two units, allows you to ensure the height of cut is consistent. Now you can gently work the wedge alongside the blade. Give it a gentle tap with a small hammer or mallet. If you’ve sharpened well and have a high-quality cutting gauge, you shouldn’t have to sharpen it again for a long time. How to sharpen wheel gauges Measuring tool, 2 pcs: Prism guage accurately measures grass heights on greens. Separate tool to measure HOC on fairways, roughs or semi-roughs. Hopefully this brief primer on how to use a marking gauge can help you get started, but there really is no alternative to practice. Grab your gauge and get to work! How do you sharpen a marking gauge? c.1909 is the closest that I can come to identifying this all Boxwood guage [below] , but this item number makes no mentioned of the Stem being ‘Hooped’.Why? Because once you set a marking gauge to do a specific job for your piece, you’ll want to keep it that way until you finish. Constantly remeasuring and resetting your gauge not only kills the convenience of the tool, it also increases the likelihood of making a mistake. In step 1, before you round off the top, mark the diagonals on the face. This will give you the center and account for any vagaries in size. Getting your setting exactly right can be tedious, but it’s worth spending time redoing until it’s perfect. You know the old adage: Measure twice, cut once! Gauge# 2052 Beechwood, Half Round polished Head, not plated and with a cream coloured Plastic Thumbscrew. This one below is from around 1960. Issued from the very beginning and until 1965+
