Thanks! Harvey and Derek, I will try the veritas gauge. But I wonder about the antique cutting gauges. My pin gauge works both directions so I assumed a cutting gauge would as well. And I have seen folk in videos using them in both directions. But a blade like an exacto blade only works in one direction. I have seen plans for making your own cutting gauge making use of exacto-type blades but also of Hock marking blades with go both directions (the MK025). I wonder how old cutting gauges worked. I have never actually seen a real one. (In my area, virtually no old tools are available.)
Thanks! Sanford
