Marking Gauge Gedore R19201000 Height 20 mm Weight 60 g

The Gedore R19201000 marking gauge Height 20 mm Weight 60 g is a compact hand tool designed to provide precise scribing and layout lines on wood, soft metals and other sheet or board materials. Its low profile and 20 mm height allow for controlled contact with edges and surfaces, while the 60 g weight keeps the tool steady during marking. Constructed to meet professional workshop requirements, the marking gauge supports repeatable measurements and straight reference lines for cutting, routing and fitting operations.

Advantages

This marking gauge offers consistent line registration and a stable feel due to its balanced mass and narrow height, enabling accurate transfers of measurements from rulers and squares. The tool's construction focuses on durability and ease of handling for frequent use in carpentry and metalworking. Its simple form factor minimizes user fatigue and provides straightforward adjustment and alignment when setting scribing distances.

Suitable for

• Marking layout lines on timber for joinery and furniture making
• Scribing reference lines on sheet metal and panels
• Transferring measurements from scales and squares to workpieces
• Setting repeatable offsets for cutting, routing or drilling

Key specifications

• Height: 20 mm for low-profile marking
• Weight: 60 g for stable hand control
• Hand tool format suitable for single-handed operation
• Intended for use on wood, soft metals and sheet materials
• Compact size for use close to edges and in confined spaces

How to use

Place the marking gauge against the reference edge of the workpiece and adjust the scribing distance to the required measurement. Hold the tool with steady, even pressure so the marking point maintains contact while you draw the gauge along the edge to create a continuous layout line. For repeat markings, recheck the set distance before each pass and maintain the same orientation of the tool relative to the workpiece. When marking metal, use appropriate marking implements and steady strokes to preserve line clarity.

Usage recommendations

Use the marking gauge on a clean, flat reference edge and verify settings with a steel rule or square before cutting. Keep the marking point sharp and inspect the tool regularly for wear to ensure consistent performance.
