iGaging Wheel Marking, Mortise & Depth Gauge

$29.90

Precision 3-in-1 Wheel Marking With Mortise Gauge

There can't be much to this simple looking layout tool, right? That's what we thought before we started using it in our shop! It's easy to be fooled by the simple design of this marking tool but you'll quickly find out what we did, it's multi functions will make shop marking and project layout easier and faster than ever. With this tool you'll be able to quickly scribe layout lines, measure depth and also lay down mortise and tenon locations on your stock. It is a nicely weighted instrument and feels good in your hand as you are working.

When scribing a layout line the hardened steel wheel at the end of the machined rod pulls the large round brass shoe against your stock and makes your scribes more accurate and repeatable. How does it do this? Simple, the wheel features a single sided bevel which keeps pressure on the large round brass face and wont let it wander from your cut line. And since the hardened wheel slices rather than tears wood fibers you'll find the scribe lines to be equally accurate when marking with and against the grain.

Want to scribe the exact location of your tenons and mortises? Simple. For Mortises you install the two 5/8" diameter wheel cutters with their bevels facing away from each other. Use the imperial or metric graduated steel rod to accurately place the cutter wheels in the exact location desired (min. of 3/8" apart) and lock them in place with the supplied set screws. Your chisel can also be used to set the width of the wheel cutters. Their opposing bevels allow you to scribe on the waste side of your cut, insuring perfect chisel registration. The included stop collar sits against the round marking gauge face and is the necessary diameter to ensure that the steel wheels don't lift or tilt when in use; this is extra helpful when making marks with the steel rod extended further. Marking Tenons is equally simple and accurate. Just reverse the wheel cutters so that their bevels are facing each other and you'll be sure to scribe on the waste side of you cut. The brass shoe face moves easily and accurately thanks the inserted o-ring which provide just the right amount of tension.

Features Include:

  • Overall length approx. 8"
  • Imperial graduations from 0" to 6" in 1/32" increments
  • Metric graduations from 0 to 150mm with .5mm increments
  • Hardened steel cutting wheel with beveled edge makes clean cuts even against grain
  • Two reversible wheel cutters allow precise mortise and tenon layout
  • Included stop collar keeps rod steady when working
  • Your chisel can be used to set the width of the steel cutting wheels
  • Steel marking wheel at end of rod sits flush with brass fence for upright tool storage
  • Brass fence with strong lock and precise action o-ring
  • Can also be used as an accurate depth gauge

Frequently Asked Questions

What can the iGaging gauge do?

It is a 3-in-1 tool that scribes layout lines, lays out mortise and tenon locations, and measures depth. See more marking tools.

What graduations does it have?

The steel rod has imperial graduations from 0" to 6" in 1/32" increments and metric graduations from 0 to 150mm in .5mm increments.

How long is the tool overall?

The overall length is approximately 8".

Why does the hardened steel wheel matter?

The hardened wheel slices wood fibers rather than tearing them, so scribe lines are equally clean and accurate when marking with and against the grain.

How do I set it up for mortises?

Install the two 5/8" wheel cutters with their bevels facing away from each other, set them at least 3/8" apart using the graduated rod, and lock them with the supplied set screws so you scribe on the waste side.

How do I scribe tenons?

Reverse the wheel cutters so their bevels face each other, which ensures you scribe on the waste side of the tenon for accurate chisel registration.

What does the stop collar do?

The included stop collar sits against the marking gauge face and keeps the steel wheels from lifting or tilting, which is especially helpful when the rod is extended further.

Can I use it as a depth gauge?

Yes. In addition to marking, it can be used as an accurate depth gauge. Browse related gauges & setup tools.

What is the fence made of?

The fence is brass with a strong lock and a precise-action o-ring that gives the shoe smooth, controlled movement.
