Description: |
|
This is a clever little gizmo that is used to mark a board so that it
will meet at a cross-board. It would primarilty be used for clapboard
marking, but it's design allows it to be used in other situations as
well.
This tool has a sliding knife much like the Nester's Patent gage
(72,885 - 12/31/1867), but has the added feature of allowing you
to gage and cut without removing the tool.
