“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 couldnâ€™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.”

“My biggest gripe with this marking gauge is that the cutter on the end of the rod has a screw that prevents the cuter from sitting flush to whatever surface you're referencing from. If you're marking out for dovetails, you have to set your depth by eyeballing it up against the board thickness you're trying to get. Other marking gauges are much easier to use for this purpose. I'd recommend going with a different marking gauge just based on the fact it doesn't do what nearly every other marking gauge on the market does.”
