Low profile marking gauge

[mklotz]

I needed an adjustable scriber that could conveniently work down close
to the top of the surface plate. This design is infinitely adjustable
and rock steady when locked. Adjustments are made by loosening the lock
screw and turning the cylindrical piece that carries the scriber point
made from drill rod.

The device disassembled... The slot turned in the cylindrical carrier
serves two purposes. It prevents the cylinder from falling out when the
lock screw is loosened and also prevents burrs raised by the lock screw
from restricting the adjustment of the height of the scriber.
