VINTAGE SILEX BUTT GAUGE No.34 – IDEAL FOR KNIFE MAKING, MORTISES, TENONS & DOOR HINGES ETC
 
Howard F. Hudson Pty. Ltd. Manufacturers and Distributors of Alexandria NSW registered the name Silex which originated from some French tools imported from Silex Electrique prior to 1940
 
Silex tools were manufactured to order of H.F. Hudson Pty. Ltd. by a number of small factories around Newcastle and Sydney. This provided the marketing outlet for small manufacturers who on their own did not have a range of products to offer nor did they have a sales force
 
This listing is for a vintage Silex No. 34 butt gauge as per photos
 
Brand: Silex
 
Model: No. 34
 
Butt gauges are designed to save time in laying out lines for gaining door butts and doors jambs but are also very handy for knife making
 
Equipped with three cutters Top, Left and Right locations for butts on casings, butts on doors and the thickness of butts are quickly obtained
 
The bottom right cutter can be reversed and lengthened so as to permit use of butt gauge working close in inside corners
 
Perfect for knife making it is ideal for blade grinds, marking centrelines on handle material or tangs
 
Also great for rabbeted jambs. Can also be used as a marking and mortise gauge and as an inside or outside square for squaring to butt hinge on either door or jambs.
 
In good original vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use
 
We have a few Butt Gauges available
