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
Veritas Wheel Marking Gauge
A wheel-type gauge is the easiest to use, and this wonderful Veritas model is a steal at $38.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
Marking knife: Hock Double-Bevel Violin Knife, 3/4 in.
This heavy, double-beveled knife stays on track in all directions, and works just fine without adding a handle.
