FAQs
Can I use this on 100mm posts?
No, this gauge is precision-engineered for 110mm posts and will not provide an accurate fit on 100mm timber.
Is this tool waterproof?
It features a durable powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use, but it should be stored in a dry place to ensure longevity.
What type of saw works best with this tool?
A handsaw, Japanese saw, or circular saw can be used, provided the blade guide path is respected.
Does the gauge mark the wood or just guide the saw?
It is designed as a guide. You can use it to trace a line before cutting or as a physical barrier to guide your saw blade.
Can I use this to cut other angles?
No, the tool is strictly designed for fixed 45-degree angles on the left and right sides.
Troubleshooting
The gauge moves during the cutting process
Ensure the gauge is tightly clamped to the post using a C-clamp or quick-release clamp to prevent sliding.
Cut edges are not perfectly meeting
Check that the saw blade is set exactly to 45 degrees and that the gauge is seated fully against the face of the post.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures perfectly square and uniform post tops
- High corrosion resistance due to powder coating
- Intuitive design makes it easy for beginners to use
- Lightweight yet sturdy for repetitive field tasks
Cons
- Limited to 110mm post sizes
- Requires manual clamping for best stability
- Not suitable for irregular or rounded post shapes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the gauge, place it firmly over the top of your 110mm fence post. Ensure the gauge is flush against the wood surface before tracing or cutting. If the post top is uneven, verify it is level before applying the tool. Regarding compatibility, this unit is manufactured specifically for 110mm posts; attempting to use it on larger or smaller timber will result in inaccurate cuts. For maintenance, wipe the gauge clean of sawdust and debris after each session. Because of its powder-coated finish, it is naturally resistant to the elements, but storing it in a dry, covered area when not in use will help maintain its structural integrity for years to come.
