Paul asked: > I thought these too where parts for a plane, but then saw > the L. S. Starrett mark and new otherwise. > Any idea what they are called and used for? Stair gauges. They clamp on a framing square to act as stops when laying out repeated angles, such as when laying out stair Stringers. #111, http://www.starrett.com/metrology/product- detail/111">http://www.starrett.com/metrology/product-detail/111 *** This message was sent from a convenience email service, and the reply address(es) may not match the originating address |

*engage sarcasm* Free range, domestically sourced, artisinal steel, semi-finished for the classic look. For the extra hint of professionalism, in sun or rain, indoors or out, in a well lit shop or a dark portico attic space, these bespoke, finely crafted stair gauges are machined and ground on critical surfaces to exacting tolerances: 16 microinch Ra (0.4 micrometer, ISO N5) for the most critical of layout tasks, even on wet, warped, and unfinished lumber. Whether you need to hatchet 48 birdsmouth ends on the rafters for your log cabin, or you are just replacing a stringer on your porch stairs, these are the perfect tool to set the job up. *sarcasm off* *** This message was sent from a convenience email service, and the reply address(es) may not match the originating address On Thursday, May 16, 2019, 5:54:27 AM EDT, Ed Minch |

I got a pair of aluminum knock offs that the seller thought were sliding window security locks. I wasn’t sure, but knew I had seen them before. KE On Thu, May 16, 2019 at 3:31 AM Ed Minch |

Thanks for all of the quick responses. I think I'll hang onto these- I see a stair project in my future. On Thu, May 16, 2019 at 5:50 AM Kirk Eppler |
