This is a center gauge designed for marking centered layout lines for mortise and tenon work and general woodworking. Model Number MTCGSS-IN-24. If you do hand-tool or machine-based joinery and want to stop splitting the difference with a rule every time, this tool does that job cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWhat matters here is how the tool works in real use. The gauge body registers off both edges of the board, while the installed marking bar places your line in the center. That means less layout time, less second-guessing, and fewer chances to drift off center before you even start cutting. The included inch bars in 1\/4 inch, 3\/8 inch, 7\/16 inch, and 1\/2 inch make it useful across several common stock sizes and joinery setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe marking bars are milled from stainless steel, which is a big deal if you prefer a marking knife over a pencil. A softer or less precise insert can wear or nick too easily, but stainless gives you a solid edge for repeated knife work. Each bar is clearly marked by size, so swapping to the one you need is straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eWoodpeckers also machines a hole precisely in the center of each marking bar. That gives you another way to use the gauge when you need to mark the center of a board directly rather than scribe along the bar. Based on the provided product information, that center-marking function works on boards up to 2 inches thick, which makes it useful for a lot of furniture parts, rails, stiles, and other joinery stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eOn the bench, this is the kind of tool that earns its keep because it removes a slow, easy-to-mess-up step from layout work. It is especially useful when laying out centered tenons on thin or thick stock, where a small layout error turns into extra fitting work later. Instead of checking both sides and hoping your numbers agree, you reference the board and mark with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThe Woodpeckers MT Center Gauge, Inch is best suited for woodworkers, cabinetmakers, furniture builders, and serious DIY users who care about clean joinery. If you cut mortises and tenons regularly, work with a marking knife, or just want faster and more reliable center marking on the bench, this is one of those layout tools that solves a simple problem the right way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n  \u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMark Centerlines Without Measuring Twice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n          \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/1582\/5958\/files\/50185600205094_2607e5c2d792.jpg\" alt=\"Woodpeckers MT Center Gauge, Inch marking a centered layout line on a wood board with a marking knife during woodworking joinery setup\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n          \u003cp\u003eFor joinery work, layout errors cost more time than the marking step ever should.
