Popular Trend Products

Trend's marking gauge collection encompasses both traditional and innovative designs. Their single-pin marking gauges are perfect for scribing parallel lines and marking out joints, whilst mortise gauges with dual pins excel at setting out mortise and tenon work. For tasks requiring a cutting action rather than a scribed line, Trend's cutting gauges provide clean, accurate results on both solid timber and veneered surfaces. Each gauge features smooth adjustment mechanisms and secure locking systems to ensure your settings remain constant throughout your marking operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a marking gauge and a cutting gauge?

A marking gauge uses a pin to score a line into the wood surface, ideal for general marking tasks. A cutting gauge features a small blade instead of a pin, which cuts rather than scratches, making it particularly useful for cross-grain work and delicate veneers where a pin might tear the fibres.

How do I maintain my Trend marking gauge?

Keep the wooden fence and beam clean and occasionally treat with a light application of oil to prevent drying. Ensure the marking pin or blade remains sharp for clean, accurate lines. Store in a dry environment and periodically check that the locking mechanism operates smoothly.

Are Trend marking gauges suitable for professional use?

Absolutely. Trend marking gauges are widely used by professional joiners, cabinet makers and carpenters throughout the UK, offering the precision, durability and reliability required for demanding commercial workshop environments.
