Description:

This is a combination gage vaguly reminiscent of the classic Williams' patent (17403), but with a couple of extra features. Like the Williams patent, this gage has 2 marking points, a cutting point and an adjustable mortise pair, but it also has a point in the bottom of the head which could be used to mark off of a rabbeted edge. It also adds a lock screw to prevent unintentionally changing the adjustment.
