The Veritas Carpenter's Gauge is designed to be conveniently carried in an apron or pocket. It is both a direct-reading compass and a marking gauge. It has a rotatable head, which locks vertically for use and horizontally for storage and tip protection. It is direct reading, for both radius and diameter, in inches and centimeters.
If you have ever had to put a radius on a corner, you know why the Veritas Carpenter's Gauge is so valuable. You set your radius, locate the center using the gauge, then rotate the head and scribe your line with the compass. The gauge is also useful in a cabinet shop because of the direct-reading feature which helps reduces errors.
Made of brass, stainless steel, and high-impact ABS. It is 7-1/2" long overall, and will scribe circles up to 12" diameter.
