Sliding bevel gauge, 9"

9" ebony bevel Cat. No. 66

A sliding bevel gauge, also known as a sliding T bevel, is an adjustable precision tool used for setting and transferring angles. The bevel gauge is composed of two elements, the handle and the blade, which are connected by a screw. The handle serves as the reference edge, while the blade pivots relative to the handle and can be fixed at the desired angle using a locking mechanism. The primary purpose of a bevel gauge angle guide is to replicate angles found in existing materials or plans accurately onto new workpieces. Bevel gauges like this one were commonly used by carpenters, metalworkers, construction workers and craftsmen, who required precise angel measurements and transfers.
