 Don't shy away... November 25, 2004

Don't shy away from this tool just because its made of Beech instead of rosewood. I have one of these and one similiar made by Lee Valley tools. Though not as pretty as the rosewood models, they are tougher than they look and work well. I have several marking gauges(I think 5), mainly because I tend to use the same dimensions a lot, so I have them set to the most common ones I use, with a couple to use with other stuff. Saves time and besides I like looking at em. HaHa. Every serious or want to be serious wood worker needs at least one of these. Much more accurate for layout than a pencil, especially for mortise/tenon, and dovetail joints. Highly recommend.
 Solid, but not as nice as could be October 24, 2006

I just ordered and received this. I haven't used it yet, so this is an initial impression. It's fairly nice, and feels solid. The only thing I don't like is that the thumb screw used to adjust the unit is made of plastic, and looks cheap. It may hold up well over time, but it makes the unit feel cheap, which it isn't.
