Description

Specifically designed to be carried in an apron or pocket; this is both a direct-reading compass and a marking gauge; two things that carpenters frequently need but find hard to carry. It has a rotatable head; which locks vertically for use and horizontally for storage and tip protection. It is direct reading; for both radius and diameter; in inches and centimeters.

If you have ever measured a dryer vent pipe at 5-7/16inch diameter and needed to cut a hole for it; you'll know why direct-setting diameters are such an advantage. Similarly; if you have ever had to put a radius on a corner; you know why a combination compass/marking gauge is so valuable. You set your radius; locate the center using the gauge; then rotate the head and scribe your line with the compass. The gauge is also useful in a cabinet shop because of the direct-reading feature (substantially reduces errors); as well as for the fast corner radiusing just described. Made of brass; stainless steel and high-impact ABS; it is 7-1/2inch long overall, and will scribe circles up to 12" diameter.

Patented. Made in Canada.
