Abstract: A gauging assembly adapted for use in positioning stock material with respect to fixed equipment. The assembly includes an elongated retainer having a predetermined arrangement of stop positions thereon. An elongated holder is provided for slidable coupling with the retainer and permitting reciprocal relative longitudinal movement therebetween. At least one stop block is provided and has a plurality of material engaging faces. The block is rotatable to expose each face in sequence for engagement with stock material. A connector is used for removably positioning the stop block at a desired stop position to prevent rotation of the stop block and permitting displacement and rotation of the stop block and shifting of the block to the other stop positions. Indicia indicates the relative horizontal position of the retainer with respect to the holder, the stop block with respect to the retainer and the exposed face of the stop block. A fastener removably couples the holder and retainer in a plurality of longitudinal positions. The assembly is adapted to be mounted to the fixed equipment so that shifting of the stop block between stop positions, relative sliding movement of the retainer with respect to the holder and rotation of the gauge block provides a variety of longitudinal adjustments for the positioning of the material engaging face of the stop block and accordingly determining the position of the stock material with respect to the fixed equipment.
