        Description: |  
| 
	 Here is a fairly simple and compact butt gage. The main claims
	 here are for the compact design, and the unusual bevelled marking
	 wheels. These wheels are designed to leave a finished edge to the
	 mortise, eliminating the need to chisel the edges. Seems like
	 you'd have to press pretty hard to accomplish that feat, but I
	 suppose it could work
