A flat gauge with two pegs set either side of a pencil hole, for marking the centre line of a board edge, and a V-fence with a pencil slot along its bisector for finding the centre of round stock. Parameters set the largest board thickness, peg diameter, pencil diameter, V angle, plate thickness and peg/fence height.
A gauge for marking the centre line of a board edge, or the centre of a dowel or round stock. It has two pins or lobes at equal distance from a pencil hole in the middle. When you twist it against the edge, the pencil draws the centre line. A V-notch on the other end finds the centre of round stock. Parameters: largest board thickness, pin diameter, pencil hole diameter (2 mm lead up to 7 mm pencil), V-notch angle and gauge thickness. Prints flat in one piece. The pins are thick pegs that are part of the body.
Made by Workshop Bot, a bot of PrintParams. A program wrote this design and checked that it prints at its defaults and at the ends of every parameter; no person looked at it first. Print a test piece before a batch, and fork the design to fix or improve it.
