I have been getting along famously without one but buying dozens of combination square scales was one of my better moves of 2012.. so you never know how its going to turn out.
A lot on ebay do not have scribes and i was thinking that you really need to have them special for that specific tool? Do not they have to be specific dimensions to be at 1" when you're reading 1"?
Another goofy question is if youre sliding the gage doesn't it wear the base? i would think the wear would be more consequential to a height gage then to a gage block set and they have wear blocks for that. Am i misunderstanding the use of the tool or what?
