Made from plantation grown Sonokeeling Rosewood, we offer a complete range of gauges with brass fittings in degrees of excellence.

We offer two types of slide adjustment, brass pull slide and a more accurate/finer, brass thumbscrew slide.

All mortise gauges are supplied with a brass knurled thumbscrew (steel slotted screw by request) for locking the brass slide. All the gauges have a marking gauge pin on the underside.

Marking gauges and cutting gauges are of the traditional, half round design and come with either plain head or plated head. All gauges come with a solid brass knurled thumbscrew.
