- Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
- Brand: Veritas | Category: Marking Tools

I bought this marking gauge, because I thought it was better deal than the Tite-Mark. I was really disappointed with the the Micro-Adjustment on the Veritas. It requires you to use both hands to adjust the gauge. The instructions even tell you that you have to use both hands. Once adjusted the gauge works well and is accurate. If you want to buy Veritas, I suggest buying their standard marking gauge and save a few more bucks.

I like this type of marking gauge opposed to the pin type.

I agree with Mike L. in that you do have to use both hands for micro-adjustments but once set it stays set and remains accurate. I like the wheel-style although I’ve never used the pin type. I would suggest saving your money and purchasing the guage without the micro-adjust. Note that this is the first and only marking guage I’ve owned. This tool will roll off your bench if your not careful :-)

I would also echo the review. I have the same marking gauge and like the function of the gauge after it is set. The micro-adjust feature is cumbersome and I never use the graduations on the shaft. I always set the depth using a ruler or combination square. Save some money, buy the basic unit without markings.

I just got mine a few days ago. Microadjust and non graduated. Its nice. I keeps the micro adjust set in the center and with some finger contortion (I do have long fingers which may make this workable) I can do it 1 handed. Definitly not designed for it, but thats why the guy who made the titemark custom machined his up.
