“This has been very useful in setting up a couple of new (to me) planes. It'll sit in a draw for a while now. Lucky its brass :0).”

“Nice little Gauge, but either Mr Kell's gauge is off, or my Veritas MK 11 honing guide is out off whack.”

“This gauge is so useful for checking the angles on new chisels and plane blades, I bought recently, and for checking the results of my freehand grinding and honing. No need for guesswork anymore. Smaller than I had expected it is just right for the job it's meant for.”
