Marking wheel Holder
Overview of the marking wheel holder
The marking wheel holder is 1 of 3 Veritas cutting wheel holders available.
Unlike the deluxe marking wheel holder and the chair makers marking wheel holder the marking wheel holder has a fixed 15 degree angle.
The marking wheel scores a line in the work peice giving a definite datum point to work to for more accuracy.
All the marking wheel holders are ideal for cross grain work as the scored line cuts the wood fibres stopping the wood from tearing out when jig sawing but they can mark along the grain as well.
They can also be used on sheet material.
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 (SKU: 05N35.11).
Testing out the marking wheel holder
Showing the results you can get when cutting to a scribed line.
It’s beneficial to make short strokes when marking along the grain as this helps to stop the wheel wandering.
Because the marking wheel holder is on a fixed angle you need to move the body of the scriber in the cradle to position the wheel as parallel to the base of the scriber as possible.
The marking wheel holder works in conjunction with the 2 in 1 FB Scriber but it can also be purchased seperately to use with other scribers.
