I just got my order in from Shars for a 9x12 surface plate and a 6" dial height gauge, and to be brutally honest I am confused.
The height gauge has a "wedge type" carbide point, can this be used to scribe a layout line or is it just there to eliminate wear on the contact point? I have heard of people using height gauges to scribe lines, but I was picturing a round point on the gauge, sort of like a pocket scribe.
Here is a link to the gauge I bought if that helps:

Thanks for the help Sub
