Hi Folks
I finally gave in and ordered a set of mortise blades for my Tite-mark marking gauge. Got them direct from Lie-Nielsen in the States. Many thanks to the folks at Customs for making the transaction an expensive one..... :twisted:
So-what do you get?
Three little envelopes, two holding the blades and one with an Allen key.
No instructions are included so I blunder on......
A quick twist of a screwdriver to remove the standard blade and then you can slide on the new ones. There are small grub screws which run in the milled slot of the rod.
You set the width of the mortise directly from your chisel-neat! Then you set the depth of the mortise away from the face edge using the built in fine adjust-easy!
And in use it is as simple as using the regular marking blade.
Simple and effective, I find the gauge easy to set up and use. If you own a Tite-mark this would be a useful add-on.
Cost $24 direct from Lie-Nielsen.
