Good Morning Y'All
I got my first cutting gauge about a year ago and have been very impressed with the precision of the lines that it cuts. In my hands, it is far superior to my old marking gauge.
This morning I found an article on Chris Vesper's website where he sings the virtues of the cutting gauge and then makes the statement ".... In my workshop I use a cutting gauge to mark out absolutely everything, and have not used a marking gauge for at least 8 years. ..."
Vesper Tools Quality Australian Woodworking Tools - Cutting Gauge Vs Marking Gauge
This now raises a basic question. Is there any situation where a marking gauge is better than a cutting gauge? [Excluding the situation where you do not have a cutting gauge!]

PS: Chris, I hope you do not mind me quoting you here.
