RYOMA Kama Keshiki Japanese Mortise Marking gauge (FUJIWARASANGYO)
Japanese marking gauges use knives, not points, to mark the workpiece, and have a relatively wide stock. The knives used have the advantage of leaving a clean cut when marking across the grain. Knives cut the fibers, while points just tear them up.
Description
Japanese marking gauges use knives, not points, to mark the workpiece, and have a relatively wide stock. The knives used have the advantage of leaving a clean cut when marking across the grain. Knives cut the fibers, while points just tear them up. Like other Japanese woodworking tools, these gauges are always pulled along the workpiece.
This marking gauge is ideal for marking mortises or grooves. This gauge has two beams, one on top of the other.The beams are tightened from the top side of the fence with a bolt. The two blades are beveled face to face to leave a clean guide for mortising. When using one blade, make sure the other is retracted into the fence.
The measuring scale on the beam should be used only as a rough guide. One must use a precise ruler or other measuring method to exactly set the distance between the knife and the stock if precision is needed.
