Q: What is a marking and transfer tool used for?
This veritas marking & transfer tool reproduces several layout positions at once, such as hinge or shelf-pin locations, by locking marking heads along a rod set to a common reference edge.
05J0901 - Veritas Marking & Transfer Tool (12" rod, brass foot, 4 heads)
The great advantage of this tool is that it lets you accurately mark or transfer several positions at once from a common reference edge.
Used like an adjustable, reusable story stick, it is particularly well suited for any layout work that must be reliably reproduced, such as when marking box and lid hinge gain positions or left and right slide locations in a cabinet carcass. It is also a simple way to consistently mark off knob or handle locations on drawers or cabinet doors.
The basic tool includes four 3" long marking heads, a 12" stainless-steel rod and a brass foot. The marking heads have a single straight reference edge (reversible by flipping the head) and can be locked at any position along the rod. The brass foot can be used on either end of the rod and is reversible for outside or inside measurements.
Additional pairs of marking heads and 12" rod sections (all available separately) can be used to extend the tool as needed – the rods have a male thread at one end and a female thread at the other. Made in Canada.
This veritas marking & transfer tool reproduces several layout positions at once, such as hinge or shelf-pin locations, by locking marking heads along a rod set to a common reference edge.
Yes, the brass foot is reversible, so it registers off either an inside or an outside reference surface.
Yes, the rod sections thread together with matching male and female ends, so extension rods can join on to reach wider spans.
It ships with four marking heads, so up to four positions transfer in a single setup, and additional heads can be added on for more.
