• Marking Gauge
• Mortise Gauge

• Spirit Level
• Plumb Level
• Miter Level
• Beam Compass

• RULER Odd Job (1)is equipped with a 6″ SS Scale (2), Odd Job XL features a 12″ SS Scale or the 8″ SS Scale is included with the Deluxe Set or offered separately. The Scales are laser engraved and feature Notches in the end of the Scales that precisely reference the Scale engravings. Place a pencil or the Scribe Tool(5) in either Notch and your mark is perfectly aligned with the end of the Scale. Figure 1.
• T-SQUARE Use the Scale fastened in the Odd Job Body as a T-Square. Set the Scale to your desired length relative to the square end of the Odd Job Body. Mark using either a pencil or the Scribe Tool. Figure 1.
  
  • DEPTH MEASUREMENTS You can use Odd Job set up as in the T-square application above to measure the depth of larger holes, mortises, dadoes, rabbets, grooves, etc. You can similarly check any two offset surfaces **. Figure 2.

**

• LAYOlfT & MARKING FUNCTIONS Use your Odd Job with either a pencil or the Scribe Tool.
  Applications include those you would otherwise perform using a tri- square/combination square, miter-square, T-square or marking gauge . Figure 4. Odd Job is the tool to use for marking mortise and tenon locations, hinge mortises, drilling locations for knobs and pulls, concealed hinge locations, and more.

You can draw or scribe lines with Odd Job at 90° and 45° using the Scale and square or angled end of the Odd Job body **. Figure 5.

You can draw or scribe circles and semicircles using the Odd Job’s beam compass feature.
Odd Job can draw circles up to 16″ diameter and Odd Job XL up to 29″ diameter. The cone-shaped threaded insert in the pointed end of the Odd Job body is normally set so that it doesn’t project out of the body. Figure 6.

For beam compass use, remove the Scribe Tool and use the hex-shaped end of the Scribe Tool to screw the Threaded Insert (8) in, exposing the pointed tip, to serve as the beam compass pivot point. Figure 6-a**.

The round hole in the ruler body is sized to accept the Compass Sleeve (4). One Compass Sleeve accommodates the pointed awl shaft of the Scribe Tool for scribing purposes while the other sleeve is sized for use with a pencil.

• GAUGING FUNCTIONS Using a known physical dimension for setting tools and machines is often faster, easier and more accurate than measuring. The Odd Job and Odd Job XL have numerous gauging options. Some of these fixed dimensions built into Odd Job will be useful for setting machine fences like table saws, router tables, drill presses, and band saws. Others are applicable to router bit heights, saw blade heights and more. **Figure 7

**

• USEFUL DIMENSIONS
  • Scales are 1 ” wide and 3/32″ thick. They can be used as a reliable straight edge.
  • Odd Job Body is machined with a thickness at the widest point of 1 “.
  • Odd Job XL Body is machined with thicknesses of 1-1 /4″ at the widest point.
  • The Body is also dead accurate square on both ends.
  • Use one side of the angled end along with the Scale as a miter square. Figure 8.
  • The angled end can be used for checking square on inside comers like frames, drawers and cabinets.

Figure 9.

  * AWUSCRATCH AWL The Scribe Tool can be used independently as quality scratch awl. Simply use the hex-shaped pointed end of the Scribe Tool.  


  * SPIRIT LEVEL Remove the Scale to use your Odd Job Spirit Level 0). To check level, place the square end of the Odd Job Body on the intended object and read the bubble from either side of the tool. **Figures 10** **& 11.**  

Should adjustment of the Spirit Level be necessary, find a known level surface to use as a reference during adjustment. Place the square end of the Body on the level surface and loosen the (4) Cap Screws holding the Spirit Level using the supplied 3/32″ Allen Wrench (9)· Now rotate the level holder until proper alignment is achieved. Lastly, hold the tool and level in place and tighten the Cap Screws. **Figure 11-a.
