BRIDGE CITY TOOL WORKS MG-2 MARKING / MORTISING GAUGE HAND CRAFTED IN USA MINT!FREE INSURED PRIORITY SHIPPING
This is a very well made, precision instrument and has never been used. It exhibits no signs of use or wear. *The white spots seen in some photos are from packing materials and static cling. It comes with the original box but no papers.
I do have other fine (Bridge City, Starrett, etc...) carpentry and engineering instruments and tools I will be listing in the near future.
FROM THE MANUFACTURER:
"Instead of scribing pins, the MG-2 uses precision turned, hardened tool steel (Rc 62) cutting discs. Beveled on one side to 30 degrees, these discs are very sharp. The beveled face runs adjacent to the fence. This arrangement allows for a constant wedging action, always pulling the fence tight against the work piece - a very important feature for accurate joint layout, particularly in wavy or pronounced open grain woods.
One sixth of each cutter is exposed (they do not rotate during use) allowing for six "blade changes" before the cutters need to be sharpened. For you heavy users, these cutters will stay sharp 4-6 years and for many, this tool will never need to be sharpened! The actual cut is a razor crisp, consistently clean, readable mark in all woods and is comparable to a knife slice.
To use the tool as a marking gauge, simply slide one stem back until the cutter is recessed into the fence (we've milled a bevel for this purpose). You can accurately set the cutter distance from the fence by using your pocket rule (of course we are partial to our SR-6 Pocket Rule...).
One handy feature of the MG-2 is the accuracy. Dimensions as tight as 1/64th" are easily attainable. Notice the locking knobs are located on the bottom of the tool, this simple design creates a tool which is comfortable, and a joy to hold and use."
