PRODUCT INFORMATION
MODEL NAME: Woodpeckers MT CENTER GAUGE & DOWELING JIG
REQUIRED TOOLS
MT CENTER GAUGE & DOWELING JIG
The centering frame of the Woodpeckers MT Center Gauge & Doweling Jig features a simple geometric principle, the centerline of a parallelogram is always the center, regardless of the distance between the two sides. What this means for you in the shop is that when you put the gauge on a board and squeeze it together, the center bar is precisely centered on your stock. Woodpeckers has used that elegantly simple foundation for three functions, locating the centerline of your stock, laying out centered mortises and tenons, and drilling perfectly centered holes.
INSTALLATION
- LOCATING & MARKING THE CENTERLINE OF A BOARD
- Install the Stainless Steel Marking Bar © or (f) of choice in the MT Center Gauge CD frame with the Knobs as shown. FIGURE A.
- All of the Stainless Steel Marking Bars have a small hole bored in their center. Simply close the MT Center Gauge on your stock, put a pencil in the center-bore and slide the MT Center Gauge along your board. FIGURE B. It doesn’t matter which marking bars you use. All of them will work exactly the same.
- LAYING OUT TENONS & MORTISES
- The Stainless Steel Marking Bars come in 4 fractional sizes (1/4″, 3/8″, 7/16″ & 1/2″) and 5 metric sizes (4, 5, 6, 8 & 10mm). (Depending on which package you purchased, you have all fractional, all metric or both.) For whatever size mortise you want to lay out, install the correct Stainless Steel Marking Bar. Position the MT Center Gauge so it slightly overlaps the start and end lines of your mortise or tenon. Close the MT Center Gauge on your stock. Now the Stainless Steel Marking Bar is precisely located at the center of your stock. Mark each side of the Stainless Steel Marking Bar. FIGURE c.
