Veritas marking gauge problem
I find that the screw that holds the cutting wheel on the end of my gauge keeps coming loose.
Has anyone else had this problem, and even better has a solution? I am a bit reluctant to put thread-locking compound on the screw in case I regret it later.
Cheers,
Bob

I had the exact same problem Yesterday :(. The whole damn top took off as i ran it down a long board. I got a big wobbly scar where I didn't want one and had to fish through a pile of shavings to find the wheel and screw.
I don't mind the Veritas marking gauge but I don't love it. I'd really like to make a full compliment... I just need IanW to get back to his shed so I can pester him for some tips (heavy enough elbow nudge?) :U

Ian, speaking of Acacia spp. I've been offered a few big black wattle trunks, wiki tells me they are prone to splitting, but I thought I might be able to get some bits at least big enough for a nice matchy set of gauges... Do you know if the timber's any good?

Back on topic, Bob, I'm sure you've found this too but the only thing I've found to do about it is always push/pull the gauge in the direction that wants to tighten the screw. Not always handy though :shrug:
