A mortise gauge has two scribing pins that can be set independently to mark both edges of a mortise (or tenon cheek) in a single pass. A standard marking gauge has one pin and marks a single line at a set distance from a reference face. For mortise-and-tenon joinery, a mortise gauge is far more efficient because it sets both layout lines simultaneously.

Set the blade of the iGaging Sliding Bevel Gauge to the desired angle by referencing a protractor, a known angle on the workpiece, or a template. Lock the blade with the thumbscrew. The gauge then transfers that exact angle to new workpieces for marking cuts, checking assembled joints, or setting machine tilts.

Dovetail layout requires a marking gauge or mortise gauge to scribe the baseline, a sliding bevel or dedicated dovetail marker to establish the tail slope, and a reliable square to check the reference faces. The 6-Piece Essential Marking Set provides a practical starting point that covers most of these needs.

Yes. The M Power Perfect Butt Profile Scriber is designed precisely for this purpose. It rides along an irregular surface—a wall, floor, or countertop—while a pencil or scribe pin traces the profile onto the mating piece, allowing you to cut a perfect fit without extensive trial and error.

The iGaging 3-in-1 Digital Marking Mortise Gauge displays the exact setting in thousandths of an inch, so you can record a setting, return the gauge to zero, and re-set it precisely later. This is particularly useful when making multiple identical mortised components across different work sessions.

The Center Finding Jig works by simultaneously referencing both edges of a board and marking the center in one step. A bevel center-finding gauge from the rulers and squares collection performs the same function using the V-groove registration method.

Yes. Timber framing relies heavily on bevel gauges for marking compound mortises, wedge cuts, and rafter seat cuts. A long sliding bevel with a secure lock is important for large-scale work. The ebony-body gauges in this collection are well suited to the task.

The marking gauges collection carries additional marking and wheel gauges, while the rulers and squares collection covers precision squares, combination squares, and straight edges used alongside scribing tools.
