I understand that dammit is now socially acceptable. Dagnabbit is
allowed as well. GollyGeeWillikers is still tabu.

If you haven't, try the Veritas or Tite-Mark wheel gauges. They both
lock down tightly, but the Tite-Mark has the advantage of being able to
operate the fine-adjust with one hand. Both of them have A2 wheels,
which means they stay sharp for a long time.

I was chcking out the Veritas on line last night. The micro-adjust
feature is very appealing. On the shop-fox I own, the fence will move
with too much force. Th knife style gauge own is made of rosewood so
the thumb screw really tightens down good against the wood. If it
locks down tightly like you said, I might give it a try.
Thanks

The Veritas tightens like a router collet, so it compresses uniformly
against the shaft. I like the microadjust, but save a few bucks and get
the one without graduations.

The TiteMark uses a pointed thumbscrews that lock into a V-groove in the
shaft.

Chris- Do you have a link for the Veritas? I might be looking at the
wrong model.

Here's the Veritas one. It's available in standard and micro-adjust, as
well as graduated/non-graduated:

I like the old Stanley. Can't remember the model number, but it has two
arms with a wheel on one end of each and a pin on the other. If you only
need one, the other retracts into the body out of the way. But you'd
have to find an old tool dealer to get one - or be very lucky at an
estate sale.

I've got 2 and am very careful not to lose them :-).

Stanley #95 butt gauge has two beams with knives
on either end, plus a handy square built into the
stock. I reach for it more times than I do my other
scratch gauges.

Knife cutters can be sharpened to a crowned,
wheel-like profile. Bevel the stock side of the
cutter to make the tool pull firm against a
workpiece as you push or pull it.

If you like wheel type gauges, they're very
easy to make by driving a drywall screw into
a block of wood, with the head set the desired
offset distance from the block.

Nice site

Here's what my gauge looks like, except mine is rosewood instead of
beech. The removable curved work fence is useful.
