Is anyone aware of a cheap/Chiner wheel dishing gauge?

The available wheel dishing gauges seem a little overpriced for what they are. Seems like such a simple tool would lend itself to something you could easily find on Alibaba. Unfortunately I haven't had any luck locating one. Any help?

If you have a few tools, you can try making one.

I made my own as well using some scraps of particle board. It works quite well and I see no need to buy one.


Roger Musson has plans for an even simpler and better gauge in his wheel building book.
