Cutting Gauges

Cutting Gauges

Cutting gauges are precision marking tools used to scribe clean, accurate lines across the grain, making them ideal for joinery, cabinetmaking and fine woodworking. Unlike traditional marking gauges, a cutting gauge uses a blade rather than a pin to score the wood fibres, helping to reduce tear-out and improve the accuracy of cuts. Essential for laying out joints such as dovetails and mortise and tenons, cutting gauges provide consistent, repeatable results. Browse the range to find the right cutting gauge for your marking and layout tasks.
