With a good marker the gaugeshould act easily and well without exertion of any kind outhe part of the worker. TOOLS. 73. (8) The cutting gauge has a parallelepiped shaped spindlesecured by a wedge (Fig. 23). Instead of a pin-shapedmarker it is providedwith a thin steel cutter,a,djusted by means of apin. Cuttings more orless deep may thus bemade on the surface ofthe work. This tool is Fig. 23. Cutting Gauge, i. chiefly used for gauging across the grain, and in setting outfor grooving and dove-tailing. In this, as in all marking gauges, it is important that themarker should be inserted in such a way that the inner side,and consequently the point, is slightly inclined outwards fromthe side of the stock. IV. Compasses. 1. The compass generally used in slojd isa simple one made of steel with a hinge. Asit is often necessary to maintain the distancebetween the arms unaltered,-this compass isprovided with a bow, which is attached toone arm, and which can be secured to theother by a screw. A compass of this kind iscalled a 1bow-compass (Fig. 24). When segments of large circles have to bedescribed, Ibeam-compass
