The Hamilton Marking Gauge is designed to be the ideal tool for laying out joinery, marking the thickness of boards, and other critical layout tasks. It is perfect for laying out detail work such as hinge mortises.

The distinctive “bat wing” shape of the head provides an ergonomic grip, allowing you to pull the fence tight into the workpiece using your whole hand. The fence is secured to the beam with a knurled brass knob that cinches the beam tight for reliable setting, while the wide fence provides a generous reference surface against the work piece for accurate layout.

The marking gauge is available in fumed cherry, walnut, and curly maple. It comes with a brass wear strip on the face of the fence. The beam has a removable thumbnail shaped cutter for crisp layout lines.
