Adjustments are inconvenient

Adjustments are Inconvenient
The Emmerich’s wooden body is comfortable to hold, but adjustments to the fence and depth stop are inconvenient, requiring a screwdriver. The blade’s depth of cut is set with a hammer. The throat clogged easily.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Starrett 4" Double Square
Head is easy to remove, replace, and lock down; narrowest blade, at 5⁄8 in., made it easier to fit into tight places; hard to read under bright lights.
Veritas Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
