Created by Gabriel Izzo, Modified on Mon, 23 Jun at 2:33 PM by Gabriel Izzo

The UG-1 Universal Gauge is available in both Imperial and Metric versions, with a few key differences in scale markings and usage preferences.


Differences

  • UG-1 Imperial:

    • Features both Imperial and Metric graduations on the marking gauge and depth gauge.

  • UG-1 Metric:

    • Features Metric-only graduations on the marking gauge and depth gauge.


Similarities

  • Both models include a Centering Rule that is Metric-only.

    • The Centering Rule allows you to quickly find the exact center of stock up to 140mm (5.5") wide.

    • Simply align the same numbers on both sides of the stock, and the “0” mark will indicate the center—making layout work fast and accurate.
