DIY 130mm Mini Marking Out Gauge – Key FAQs

• What is a mini marking gauge used for?
  It’s used to scribe straight, parallel lines from an edge, helping you mark accurate cut lines and set out joinery such as mortices and rebates.

• Why choose this marking out gauge?
  The compact 130mm size is easier to control on smaller workpieces and detailed projects, while still offering enough adjustment for common marking tasks.

• What does the hardened spur do?
  The hardened single spur creates a crisp scribe line in the timber, which helps guide saw or chisel work more accurately than a pencil line.

• Is the brass screw just for tightening?
  It’s used for both adjustment and locking. The knurled design makes fine setting easier and helps keep the gauge firmly set during use.

• Can I use it for mortice marking?
  Yes, it’s suitable for marking out mortice positions and offsets, especially on smaller joinery components where a compact gauge is easier to handle.

• How do I keep the gauge marking cleanly?
  Keep the spur sharp and free of resin, and ensure the fence sits flat against the timber edge. Light, consistent pressure produces the cleanest line.
