Clarke Brothers Wheel Marking Gauge - Woodworking Marking Scriber Kit With 2 Replacement Cutters - Wood Marking Tools With Graduated Inch & MM Scale - Solid Metal Bar Wood Scribe Tool For Carpenter

This is an excellent marking guage. I bought it expecting to have to modify it in several ways, but all of them were great out of the box.The guide is square to the rod.The cutter is sharp.The locking screws locks everything solidly in place.It even has a flat cut into it so it doesn't roll off your desk.It succeeds in every way I expect a cheap gauge to fail.

I habe had this product for a little over a year. It comes ready to use with 2 spare cutter wheels, just in case. Turns out those spare wheels were absolutely needed as I managed to break/chip mine fairly quickly (I am rough with my stuff). At the time my last wheel gave out I went looking for replacements, this was roughly six months prior to writing this. Clarke brothers, at the time, did not have a way to get just the replacement wheels (they do now, more on that) so I set outdoor trying wheels from various other brands/companies but never found one that fit 'correctly'. There are some that will get you by but they don't fit well. Finally giving up, I messaged Clarke brothers to plead with them to male replacement cutter wheels available. To my surprise, I was informed that replacement cutter wheels will be made available on amazon in the near future and was assured that replacement would be sent to me. I waited months for said wheels and they never arrived. Again I reached out to Clarke brothers. They assured me that the cutters would arrive within the next few weeks and that a logistics issue was causing the delay. Another few weeks with nothing. Then, a Clarke brothers rep reached out to me regarding the issue. I was informed that, due to the long delay in fulfilling my request, that I would receive another marking gauge with replacement wheels. So, in order for Clarke brothers to hold themselves to thier standards, I got a free marking gauge on top of the one I have already, just so they could make sure they kept thier promise of providing me with replacement cutter wheels. This is the kind of customer service that every company should have.As for the product itself, it is a simple elegant design. The weight feels good in the hand, making it's use comfortable. The cutters are sharp enough but, like most tool blades, could be improved with some additional honing. Tje anti roll head is also a great feature, not necessarily needed, but makes the product just a bit better. Since I now have a second marking gauge it will replace my first, much cheaper and poorly designed gauge (which is also a wheel gauge, if anyone wanted to know). I still intend on purchasing a micro adjust marking gauge, and was going back and forth between Clarke brothers and another brand. The customer service that Clarke brothers provided basically guaranteed my purchase so I will be making that soon.

Basic wheel marking gauge without micro adjustment (which I don't find very useful). The brass reference plate features an antiroll design. Comes with spare cutters and screws

I have not had a chance to use this yet, but this item feels very nice and is marked out nicely.I am looking forward to using this

Excellent. Works just as expected.

That is a very good product.The weight of the tool is ideal and nice to handle.The markings are clear and readable.The icing on the cake is it comes with one blade mounted on the tool and two ( 2 ) spare blades with mounting screws in a plastic bag.Buying this tool is a good deal.

Great tool to have and much better than my old tool.

Beautiful tool
