Marking gauge

Question

Hi, I'm just wondering what is the best brand or store to go with to buy a marking gauge from?

James · Accepted Answer

Marking guages made of hardwood with brass adjustment fitting  and  pins are all adequate if  looked  after and used correctly . Spear and Jackson have ones  made of rosewood  they are usually a prestige inclusion  in any bench joiners toolbox  .  Beech ones are generally used more often and  slightly  cheaper , they do the same job just  as well , it depends  how much wear , tear and continuous  use they will get . 
Should be able  get one  online with minimal  postage cost .

Maybe Record? And as in shop or store to go to assuming you want a physical store to go to rather then an online one may I recommend Axminster as in carpentry tools   ,you may find it  there, the marking gauge (depending on the type of gauge of course)
