コンパクトな90ｍｍを選びました、木質が良く目盛りも正確です。

This is a nice tool, I use these much more often than I expected. It turns out to be terrific for cutting consistent strips of corrugated cardboard I use for models and prototypes, and also for splitting thin strips of wood along the grain, which is one of the original uses for these. You make repeated cuts on both sides, using the same reference edge, and then break the wood at the cut line. The resulting edge needs some planing to clean it up, but it's very effective on soft wood up to maybe 1/4" thickness. Probably more common is to use this as a marking gauge, or more precisely a "cutting gauge" since it leaves a knife line rather than a v-shaped pin line. The rapid adjustment of this one is very handy. The other two I have use a wedge in a tapered mortise for locking the arm, and that can be a little finicky. This one is on the short side at 90mm. The other two I have (also bought here on Amazon) are 120mm long and are easier to register when the arm is extended out further. This is an inexpensive model, maybe an affordable DIY version in Japan, where it is made. But it is very serviceable and its somewhat loose tolerances are the bar/body fit do not seem to affect its repeatability. I'm glad to have it and use it frequently.

Just what I wanted
