Here’s a dependable workhorse for general layout. Its hardened steel wheel cutter cuts wood fibers rather than tearing them, producing a clean, accurate line regardless of grain direction. The cutter is beveled only on the inside face, which helps pull the brass face plate against the workpiece for consistent registration. An internal O-ring keeps light, steady friction on the rod during setup, and the thumbscrew locks the setting securely once the cutter projection is set.
