Marples 2154 Mortice and Marking Gauge

The IRWIN Marples 2154 is a combination mortice and marking gauge designed for precise woodworking layout and joinery applications. This versatile tool combines the functionality of both a marking gauge and mortice gauge in a single, professionally engineered instrument.

Crafted from sealed rosewood with brass fittings, this gauge delivers traditional quality and durability suited to both professional joiners and dedicated woodworkers. The brass pull slide allows quick adjustment of the extra spur when switching to mortice gauge mode, enabling accurate marking of mortice and tenon joints.
