Offset pencil marking gauge

Draw lines parallel to a board edge

Hook the fence over a board edge and run a pencil in one of the six holes: they sit 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mm from the fence, so you draw a parallel line for a rebate, a hinge or a row of screws in one stroke without measuring twice. Print it as shown, then turn it over so the floor becomes the top.
