Joseph Marples Set of three Beech marking tools:
- Pull slide combination marking and mortice gauge
- 9" Sliding Bevel
- 6" Try Square
Beech Pull Slide Combination Marking/Mortice Gauge
Made by Joseph Marples in Sheffield specially for us from FSC Beech, this classic British pull slide combination marking and mortice gauge has a single pin on one side and two pins on the other (one fixed, one adjustable) secured to the stem with a milled brass screw which we think is so much nicer than the standard plastic thumbscrew!
The dual pins are used for marking a mortice that is to be drilled and pared - chiselled mortices are cut from a single gauge line as the width of the chisel determines the width of both mortice and tenon. The screw on the head clamps onto the stem through the pull slide, locking both in place simultaneously.
- Stem Dimension: 185mm(l) x 18mm(w) x 17mm(d)
- Head Dimension: 65mm(l) x 56mm(w) x 27mm(d)
Beech 9" Sliding Bevel
The beech version of the ever popular sliding bevel is made exclusively for us by Marples in their Sheffield workshop.
Beech with solid brass tips and fittings with a blued steel blade. The blade is secured with a brass knurled locking screw, which allows for instant angle adjustment without the need for a screwdriver.
Beech 6" Try Square
Handmade in Sheffield by Joseph Marples, this beautifully made brass bound FSC beech try square has a hot blued steel blade secured with three brass rivets.
Each square is tested for accuracy on both the inside and outside faces during manufacture and again before despatch to us. Marples own specification for the internal angle is twice that specified in the British Standard i.e.; better than 0.01mm/10mm blade length and with the solid brass edges - accuracy is ensured and it conforms with British Standard 3322 specification for carpenters' squares and bevels
