This Faithfull Cutting Gauge is made from the finest hardwood, and enhanced with brass facing plates and fittings. A nylon friction pad is fitted under the knurled brass thumbscrew to reduce wear to the stem and to ensure secure, smooth and accurate setting of the gauge. Primarily used for scoring across the grain but can be used for cutting small strips of veneer. The re-sharpenable cutter is held securely in place by a solid brass wedge. Ref: UTTK9676
