Two-Post Marking Gauge in Hornbeam and Lignum Vitae by E.C.E |
|
This Two Post Marking Gauge is steeped in the Continental European woodworking tradition. Each post has a sharp slim marking pin and an inch scale for easy and precise markings. Each post is also adjustable independently of the other and can be locked firmly and precisely by means of tightening a knob.
A handy feature and key advantage of the two-post design is the ability to instantly switch between two settings. For example, you may have one post set at 1/4" and the other at 1/2" and instantly switch between the two.
The head and posts are crafted from Hornbeam with a premium Lignum Vitae head face. The two 6" scales are graduated in 1/16". The head measures 3" x 2" x 1" and the posts are 8 1/2" long overall. Expertly crafted in Germany by E.C. Emmerich. View Traditional Woodworker's Entire Selection of Measuring & Marking Tools
E.C. Emmerich
This famous tool company traces it's roots back to 1852 when master craftsman, Friedrich-Wilhelm Emmerich, founded E.C.E. in Remscheid Germany. Back in those days, most cabinet makers made their own tools. Friedrich made such fine planes that his colleagues offered to buy them for their own use. Soon the founder and his son Max, had to leave their small workroom and build a plant to meet the demand for their planes. Today, E.C.E. is still owned and run by the Emmerich family of craftsmen in the same town.
