I am in the marked for two marking tools. I have combination & engineers squares, marking knives, awls, sliding bevels... I am looking for something to mark dovetails and something to mark mortises and tenons. Somehow what I had has grown legs. I hope to find out what others have learned to like to use for this work and why.
For M&Ts I like the Veritas Wheel Marking Gauges. I am not sure which one. They have one with two posts even! Do I need a scale on it, or will I mostly be copying? How about two posts or maybe just two wheels on one post?
I have Kinsports video on making dovetails. Of course he uses a clear plastic marking gauge that is special made. Do I need to be able to mark different slopes? Veritas makes similar metal markers in 1:6 (softwood) & 1:8 (hardwood) & 14 degrees (for thin stock?).
