About this marking gauge
The Luban Marking Gauge is a precision layout tool built for woodworkers who demand accuracy and consistency at every stage of a project. Designed to deliver clean, repeatable scribe lines, it plays a critical role in joinery where precision directly affects fit, strength, and finish.
Constructed from solid brass with a stainless-steel rod, this gauge balances weight and rigidity for controlled marking. The hardened steel wheel cutter replaces traditional pins, slicing cleanly through wood fibers to create clear reference lines that guide saws and chisels with confidence.
Performance & use cases
This marking gauge excels in fine layout work where visual clarity and tactile feedback matter. The wheel cutter scores the surface cleanly along or across the grain, leaving sharp lines that reduce tear-out and improve cutting accuracy. These scribed lines act as physical guides, helping tools register correctly during sawing and chiseling.
The micro-adjustment mechanism allows subtle, controlled changes to the setting, making it ideal for repeatable layouts across multiple components. Whether laying out dovetails, marking mortise walls, defining tenon shoulders, or setting precise offsets from an edge, the gauge maintains consistent results from piece to piece.
In UAE workshops—ranging from home benches to professional furniture studios—this tool supports careful, hand-tool-driven workflows. Its durable materials and stable construction make it suitable for regular use, even in demanding environments where accuracy and efficiency are equally important.
How to use (quick guide)
- Loosen the locking knob to adjust the rod position
- Set the desired measurement using reference marks or direct fitting
- Tighten the locking knob firmly to secure the setting
- Hold the gauge flush against the reference edge
- Pull the tool steadily to scribe a clean, continuous line
- Repeat lightly if a deeper or more visible line is needed
