I'm very tight on cash right now but I need a couple gauges, do these cut any less good than the other kind? I don't mind the visibility thing so much or one hand ability, sure it's nice but not critical, though the wedge type can be adjusted one handed by tapping either end of the beam on the bench. I have a Veritas wheel gauge so I'm pretty much covered for dovetail base lines.
Thanks.
