Description
The Saddle-Tail incorporates two common used tools; a dovetail marker and a saddle square into one premium tool.
The Saddle-Tail was inspired by a layout tool from Christopher Schwarz' personal tool kit, that was designed and made by Christian Groves of Melbourne, Australia. The founder of Sterling Tool Works, Chris Kuehn used this tool during a class he attended, instructed by Mr. Schwarz. Chris expressed an interest to bring a similar design to more hand tool artisans with some improvements and was encouraged to do so. Chris was inspired to bring his love of tools and skills in Engineering, Manufacturing, and Woodworking to provide the Saddle-Tail to other woodworking enthusiasts and launched Sterling Tool Works to do so. The Saddle-Tail became Sterling's first project and product.
- 1:6 Slope dovetail marker gauge (also available in 1:4, 1:5, 1:7 & 1:8)
- Capable of “gang marking” of ¾” stock for carcass tail layout
- No more marking mishaps – only one slope on this layout tool! Many other dovetail markers have multiple slopes and can be inadvertently mixed during your project
- Integral saddle square. Transfer your layout lines perfectly to a perpendicular face. No need to go back to your tool chest for a square, flip the Saddle-Tail over and its a saddle-square ready for use!
- Easy to hold and perfectly balanced. When you grab it, your fingers fall into the machined recess naturally. Extra precision when you need it most
- Relief on the internal corners for reliable accurate marking. Even if your board has “fuzz” on the edges
O-1 Tool Steel and Brass construction, made in the USA
