3” Dovetail Square by Joseph Marples

It's great to have a gauge already set and ready to use at the same measurements. No fuss, no bother!

This dovetail gauge made by Joseph Marples follows a traditional design, made with blued steel blades (2.75” long), pinned to a stem that is fitted with a brass wear strip. Choose from either Walnut or Plantation Rosewood.. The pitch is set at a 1:8 ratio (the angle is 1" in the X-axis and 8" in the Y-axis), ideal for hardwoods.

Joseph Marples is one of the best known Sheffield-based hand tool makers, in existence for more than 180 years. The company continues to use the traditional ways of making tools, using the same high-quality materials and hand finishing - and even the same threads are used in the gauges as were used over 100 years ago.
