Panel gauges are a traditional tool used to strike a marking line across wide boards.  It is a simple tool, but if not made precisely it will not perform correctly.  I designed my panel gauge with all the features I prefer.  Here is why you will love it:

• Uses a wedge to secure the beam.  This method has the most holding power and does not mar or dent the wood.

• The wedge is made of a very hard exotic wood. 

• The beam is made from Torrefied Maple, to prevent seasonal wood movement.

• Face is made from select Maple.

• One end of the beam has a cutter mounted; the other end has a mount for a pencil.

• Comes standard with a 5/8 inch cutter.

• Cutter is mounted is such a way that it helps pull the fence tight against the reference face.

• Registration rabbit on panel head is milled absolutely flat.

• Beam is 18" long. 

• I personally make each one of these gauges to ensure they are perfect.
