Precision layout work begins with accurate marking, and the JessEm Wood Sabre II Marking Gauge is designed to deliver repeatable results every time. Built for serious woodworkers, cabinetmakers, and furniture makers, this premium marking gauge combines robust construction with ultra-fine adjustment capabilities for exceptional accuracy.

Manufactured from stainless steel and anodized 6061 aluminum, the Wood Sabre II provides long-lasting durability while maintaining smooth operation. Its distinctive Sabre-style design keeps the reference face firmly against the workpiece, allowing you to create crisp, consistent layout lines with confidence.

The hardened A2 tool steel marking blade produces clean, precise scribe lines and retracts below the reference face when not in use to protect both the blade and your work. A precision micro-adjustment system makes dialing in exact measurements fast and easy, while the graduated collar allows for incredibly fine adjustments.

Available in both Imperial and Metric versions, the Wood Sabre II is equally at home laying out joinery, marking shoulders, transferring dimensions, and establishing reference lines for precision woodworking.
