What it does
- Fits any pencil size so your pencil stays centered and you get clean, straight marks every time
- Marks in 1mm steps up to 145mm, so you measure wood joints with the precision you need
- Bends to fit curved edges, so complex layout jobs become quick and easy
- Center line helps you read measurements fast, so you spend less time checking and more time cutting
Mark your wood with precision every single time. This flexible metric gauge holds your pencil steady and centered, letting you score lines that are accurate and true.
The gauge fits pencils of any width. Just slide your pencil in and it grips straight. Measure up to 145mm with 1mm step marks printed right on the tool. The center line helps you read off distances quickly without squinting.
Because it bends, you can mark curved edges and inside corners that rigid gauges cannot reach. You print it with 0.1mm layer height to get the numbers sharp and readable. Perfect for your shop or workshop.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
