Worked ok but had to push quite hard to get the marking wheel to mark the wood surface.

I’ve used it a few times and it is very precise and perfect for marking small items. I bought it in sale so price was good, too

This is an improved version of the older marking gauge. You can set it on a table and set your depth using the piece of wood. I purchased two and threw away my old version. You can't beat it for $10. BobE

Wish I had saved my money. I purchased the Veritas dual rod later using a $10 off $25 coupon and no regrets.

As others have said the marking blade is flat. This precludes setting the gauge by resting the Blade on the work surface with the fence on the material to set the gauge at the material thickness. I saw the two or three in stock at my Woodcraft store were made this way, and I was hoping the gauges available online would be different.

I noticed these marking gauges on sale for a price too good to be true, but after reading the reviews about the blade screw design I thought that even at the sale price it was maybe too much to ask. Then I noticed the next sale item was a replacement cutter blade for a different cutter manufacturer (item#154341 ) who got the design correct to begin with. I asked myself if I couldn’t just get the cutter and mount it on the wood river wheel gauge. The answer is yes. You just need the correct size machine screw, which I had on hand. $15 got me a very nice and useful measuring tool that works 100% like it should have.

My biggest complaint with this gauge is the screw that holds the cutter wheel. All the quality gauges have the screw countersunk. This one sticks proud almost 1/8 inch. It cannot be used to get an accurate measurement inside Mortises or other detail oriented work.
