Everyone needs a gauge block to set the tool projection for gouges when placing them into a VariGrind 1 or 2 tool holding fixture. I've had many requests for an easy to use durable version, so this is the result. I've included two lengths, 2" and 1.75" in one single unit. Place the Stick Out Gauge against the VariGrind just under the shaft of your gouge and extend the shaft until it touches the stop block. Lock the gouge down for a consistent, reliable, and repeatable setting each and every time. If you choose to order more than one I am able to offer free USA shipping and give you a lower price for each one.
