Woodpeckers Bevel Gauge 178mm ONE-TIME Tool Get it right the first time, every time, with Woodpeckers Precision Bevel Gauges Bevel gauges are sometimes referred to as sliding T-bevels or adjustable bevel squares. Whatever name you go by, this layout tool definitely falls into the “must-have” category for any serious carpenter, cabinetmaker, woodworker or DIYer. Despite its simple appearance and compact size, the bevel gauge is a remarkably versatile tool. Thanks to a blade that can swing, slide and lock in any position, the bevel gauge can “capture” and transfer virtually any angle. When you need to get a perfect fit in a corner that's far from perfectly square (a common condition in many houses), a bevel gauge is indispensable. But this tool earns its keep in many other ways –like making it easy set precise bevel angles on table saws, circular saws and even drill press tables, for example. Why not have the best? Not surprisingly, the bevel gauge was one of the first tools manufactured by the Stanley Rule & Level Company over 150 years ago. The best-functioning versions of these heirloom tools served as models for a new classic from Woodpeckers that can also be proudly handed down to future generations. Woodpeckers new Precision Bevel Gauges offer machine-shop accuracy in a design that exploits the best qualities of anodised aluminium and stainless steel. The aluminium body is durable but lightweight, with a chemically fused crimson coating that helps this tool stand out in your toolbox. The blade and all key elements of the locking mechanism are made from stainless steel, which means that you'll never have to worry about rust impeding the locking action or causing an angle setting to slip. And like the best bevel gauges of yesteryear, ours have the locking thumbscrew at the base of the body rather than at the pivot point. If you've ever used a bevel gauge that locks at the pivot point, you know how layout accuracy can suffer because of this locknut location. Woodpeckers Precision Bevel Gauges come in two sizes, 178mm and 305mm. The smaller bevel gauge is perfect for laying out joinery and attaining exact fits in typical furniture parts. To transfer angles for larger cabinetry, custom built-ins or other trim carpentry, the 300mm gauge can't be beaten.
