Chair Makers Marking wheel Holder
The chair makers marking wheel is designed to score a line around the legs of furniture to give a definite reference point to cut to for levelling. This is a very accurate way of marking legs and guarantees that your piece of furniture won’t rock.
Legs with up to a 60 degree angle can be marked with this tool.
It can also be used for site installations instead of using a pencil giving a definite incised line to work to. This is more accurate than working to a pencil line and has the added bonus of preventing tear out whilst jigsawing.
The chair makers marking wheel holder is suitable for the the UBB Scriber, the BB Scriber and the deluxe FB and SB Scribers.
Shown here in a UBB Scriber.
To tighten the hinge you need an allen key (provided) and a 7mm ring spanner.
A Veritas marking wheel is used (one wheel is supplied with the holder) which can be replaced when worn out or damaged.
Replacement marking wheels can be purchased from Axminster power tools in the UK and many outlets in the US and Canada.
