Veritas Dual Marking Gauge
Item: 05N7001

Product Description
The Veritas Dual Marking Gauge has two independently adjustable rods, which will allow you to set two measurements at once, so you can quickly alternate between them when transferring or marking repetitive dimensions. Projection up to 5-3/4" is easy to set, since an internal O-ring keeps light but constant friction on each rod; a thumbscrew firmly locks rods in place.
Like other Veritas marking gauges they have a hardened steel wheel cutters scribe perfectly at any point of their circumference. Unlike pin type gauges which can have a tendency to wander or tear, these wheels will cut the wood fibres and leave you with a clean scribe, even in cross grain. The cutting wheels are oriented with opposing bevels, ensuring that you can always set the bevel in the waste side of a cut. One rod has its cutting edge at the extreme end of the rod, making it useful for transferring dimensions such as tenon shoulder and mortise depth. Each cutter can be retracted into the brass face for safe storage or to permit use with a single cutter. The eccentric placement of the rods ensures a large reference face and helps the gauge resist rolling on a surface. Aluminum housing with brass face and stainless-steel rods.

"It's nice to have but has a fundamental flaw.
Due to the shape of the cutter, it pulls the body of the marker hard up against the wood which results in a very accurate mark.
This is true for the outside cutter but the opposite is true for the inside, it pushes the body of the tool away resulting in a very inaccurate mark.
The way to counter this is to have both gauges score together so the force of one counters the force of the other. This however is very difficult when the cutters on are located differently and is not possible as you reach the end of the stock, you just have to carefully roll it.
I recommend you go with a regular gauge with mortising attachment."

"Works very good, excellent on hard wood and more than adequate on soft wood with a pencil.
