Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Cons

The brass face fits very loose on the shaft so when knurled adjustment is tighten the shaft face wobbles. The knob's threading is so badly formed that the knob wriggles in the handle. All of the cutters are rusty and drilled off center, so they aren't...  Read More

Price


Overall, great tool for a great price.


This marking gauge is very inexpensive and it shows.


Yet, the device was inexpensive and seems to do exactly what i wanted (after my repair), so overall i'm ok with it.

Shipping

    Mine arrived with the brass flange detached from the thumbscrew cylinder


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was poorly glued i can see a spot where a drop of super glue was applied and came apart during shipping


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    An easy fix for someone with the means to clean the surfaces and apply a more sophisticated adhesive but broken on delivery is not appreciated
