Joseph Marples is one of the best-known Sheffield based tool makers and has been manufacturing joiners tools, such as bevel gauges, marking/cutting gauges and squares since the 1840s. The business has remained in the family to this day and continues to be based in Sheffield, England and managed by Tony a 6th generation Marples. Although modern technology is now utilized for many operations, many of the traditions of manufacturing fine hand tools have remained the same using selected materials and hand finishing. The same threads used in their marking gauges today were those used over 100 years ago.

    Beautifully crafter, takes some getting used to
    Well made, looks nice, screws tightly. It takes some practice to use it correctly because the distance between the pins and the distance from the fence are set by a single screw. This makes adjusting and setting the gauge difficult because it's easy to loose one setting as you try to adjust the other. But it can be done.
