You're halfway through a mortise layout. Your marking gauge slips — again. The line's off, and now your joint will be too. Sound familiar? The O'SKOOL Wheel Marking Gauge fixes that for good.
Built for woodworkers who demand precision and durability, the O’SKOOL Wheel Marking Gauge delivers razor-sharp accuracy, job after job.
At the heart of the O'SKOOL Gauge is a finely threaded adjustment rod housed in a solid brass faceplate—not just for looks, but for smooth, precise measurement setup that rewards careful craftsmanship.
The bearing-assisted cutter rotates freely when engaged, helping reduce surface drag and deliver clean, accurate lines on both softwoods and hardwoods.
A recessed cutter design allows the gauge to stand upright on your bench without contacting the blade—a thoughtful detail that helps maintain edge sharpness and protects your workspace.
"Excellent quality. It should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Oskool that their products are top notch. This marking gauge is another fine example." The thoughtful laser engravings of both imperial and metric scales is VERY handy, and seems to be accurate within one’s ability to perfectly set gauge. I def recommend it.
"Exceptionally Well-Made Precision Tool That Rivals Much More Expensive Options. This tool is outstanding. The build quality immediately impressed me—the solid metal body has a nice weight to it and feels extremely sturdy and precise in hand. Despite being heavy, it adjusts smoothly and holds settings accurately, which is exactly what you want in a precision scribing tool."
