It is exactly that attribute that makes Trend´s ´Multiscribe´ U*MS\/PRO marking gauge an absolute necessity for all trades. Kitchen fitting, joinery, flooring and plumbing all require setting out, such as levelling, squaring and scribing operations that usually require a number of individual tools. However, the ´Multiscribe´ lends itself to them all, and you can even use it as a line block for masonry, tiling or stud-work. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRobustly constructed, the ´Multiscribe´ consists of a sliding steel stock precision machined to 45° and 90° angles, fitted to a slotted steel blade machined at one end to a 30° point. The stock is secured by a rebated T-block and thumbscrew to allow quick and precise adjustment either at right angles or in-line with the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsing the Multiscribe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMost woodworking, kitchen fitting and general building operations involve setting out, levelling and scribing, often requiring several marking out tools and gauges. Even a simple project such as fitting a utility unit involves several of these tasks. And, it isn´t only woodworkers that will find the ´Multiscribe´ invaluable, metal workers, welders and engineers will find many uses in the workshop and on site.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScribing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen transferring profiles, such as when scribing around pipe work or an irregular surface, the point of the blade can be run against the surface to be scribed too, while a pencil inserted through one end of the stock, transfers the \u003c\/span\u003econtour\u003cspan\u003e on to the \u003c\/span\u003etemplate\u003cspan\u003e material or work piece (i.e. cupboard side, \u003c\/span\u003epanel\u003cspan\u003e etc). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIrregular edges can be scribed too in a similar way.

Use it as a square, \u003c\/span\u003emitre\u003cspan\u003e gauge or depth gauge, or use the pencil and pencil point positions for the accurate positioning of screws and fixing for door furniture, hanging brackets, dowels and other fastenings and fittings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen cutting mortises and pockets or setting the height of saw blades and cutters, the ´Multiscribe´ can be used as a depth or setting gauge.
