How to use

Loosen the plastic thumbscrew to slide the hardened marking pin along the half-round shaft to the required position, then tighten the thumbscrew to lock it. Hold the beechwood body against the workpiece and draw the pin along the edge to scribe a clear line. For repeated marks, use the brass inlay as a durable reference edge and confirm alignment before each scribe.

Recommendations

Keep the marking pin sharp and free of debris for best results; replace the pin if it becomes worn or damaged. Store the gauge in a dry place to protect the beechwood and brass inlay from moisture and corrosion.
