mentions from one workpiece to another
many of us turn to the trusty tape
measure but sometimes clamps can get in
the way where we start measuring at one
inch and forget to subtract the one inch
from the final measurement well you can
put those problems in the past and make
marking simpler and more accurate with
rocklers 3 and 1 bar gauge the bar gauge
comes with two durable aluminum bodies
and three sets of interchangeable tips
that triple its versatility letting it
serve as a squaring stick a story stick
and a trammel scribe the gauge bodies
are designed to work with easy to get
3/8 inch diameter wooden dowels or metal
rods and because you supply them you can
customize a gauges range to fit the job
at hand
the rods or dowels secure into the gauge
bodies with set screws using an included
hex wrench the length of the gauge
adjusts by moving the gauge bodies
closer together or farther apart large
knurled knobs on top let you easily lock
in the settings all three sets of tips
fit onto the 3/8 inch rods or doubles
and secure by tightening set screws with
another included hex wrench the angle
tips are perfect for fitting inside the
corners of box assemblies to check for
square if you're building a drawer
they're also narrow enough to fit in the
grooves of the bottom so you can size
your panel precisely the flat tips allow
you to transfer dimensions directly from
one part of your project to another no
measuring means no time or material lost
because of mistakes with a tape measure
and the flat tip sit flush with the
bottom of the gauge bodies so they won't
tip over while you're working with the
trammel tips you're no longer restricted
by the limited capacity of your compass

practically any size you need and the
tips fit standard sized pencils so if
you want greater accuracy in a variety
of applications without the trouble of
double and triple-checking your

engraved sixteenth inch scales and the
triangle has two seven-inch scales in 16
inch increments the precision laser
engraved scale along the edge is a
reference to the interior angle scale
which features a series of scalloped

settings
the triangle also features marking
diamonds at every hinge which assists in

you can apply horizontal pressure up to
550 pounds outfitted with the same auto
adjust technology the in line clamp
features a push bar that's adjustable up

the base of the multi mark is an exact
six inches so set in the standard
position the multi mark can be used
cumulatively by extending the scale to
grab measurements up to ten and a half
inches perfect for repetitive marks are
transferring measurements finding the
correct measurements for mitered corners
on door and window trim while setting
the proper reveal can be difficult and
time-consuming the multi market limits
this guesswork by setting the industry
standard 3/16 inch reveal for you with a
