Wheel Marking Gauge

The Luban Wheel Marking Gauge is turned from Solid Bronze with a Bubinga infill.

This beautiful and superbly accurate Wheel Marking Gauge is about twice the weight of comparable tools and is graduated in both inches and mm.

The Stainless Steel Bar with accurate etched graduations makes what engineers would describe as a 'close sliding fit' within the body of the gauge.

The fence is recessed, allowing the cutter to be withdrawn safely inside the head and it also has a very discrete micro adjustment mechanism. Loosen the collar on the end furthest from the fence by rotating it clockwise (left hand thread) and hold it in place with your thumb. The head can then be rotated, 1 turn = 1/16" (1.5875mm), to align the fence with the graduations. Lock the head in place and spin the collar up out of the way.

The 12mm circular blade is designed not to rotate as the tool is drawn through the cut, the amount of play required for the wheel to turn would diminish the accuracy of the mark by a similar amount. Overall Length: 182mm

Useful tool

This is a tool that will see a lot of use in any workshop. It is a quality product made of solid brass giving it a weighty feel. The tungsten cutter slices through the wood fibers leaving a clear straight line on the workpiece. The line can be further enhanced by running a pencil along it if required. I only gave it 4 stars as it is extremely difficult to read the graduation marks (both metric and Imperial) under artificial light. I have to go out into natural light to read the markings.

Cuts a straight line

As soon as I held this solid tool in my hand I loved the balanced feel right away. Made from solid brass and not a cheap light-weight. I was impressed with the engineered close sliding fit. A perfectly sharp 360° tungsten cutter which really cuts a fine line rather than scratching one, across the timber. This quality tool, with satin lacquered Bubinga hand grip rivals similar tools coming from Canada or USA.
