Wooden Bevel Gauge MEGA 270 mm model 21043

The MEGA Wooden Bevel Gauge 270 mm model 21043 is a manual measuring and marking tool designed for transferring, setting and checking angles in woodworking tasks. It combines a fixed wooden stock with an adjustable metal blade that can be locked at any angle, allowing craftsmen to replicate angles from templates, rafters or existing workpieces. The tool is built for general carpentry and joinery use where simple, repeatable angle layout is required.

Advantages

The wooden stock provides a stable reference surface and comfortable handling, while the adjustable blade permits fine alignment and secure locking for consistent angle transfer. Its compact 270 mm length makes it easy to handle on benches or at job sites and suitable for both rough layout and finer joinery work. The construction balances traditional wooden feel with functional metal adjustment, offering a straightforward tool for routine angle work.

Suitable for

• Transferring angles from patterns, rafters and templates
• Marking mitre and bevel cuts on timber and panel materials
• Checking and duplicating angles during carpentry and joinery
• Workshop layout and on-site carpentry tasks

Key specifications

• Overall length: 270 mm
• Construction: wooden stock with adjustable metal blade
• Adjustment: blade pivots and locks to set arbitrary angles
• Primary use: angle transfer, marking and checking for woodworking
• Hand tool format suitable for bench and field use

How to use

Place the wooden stock firmly against the reference edge or surface. Pivot the metal blade until it matches the angle you need to copy or mark, then tighten the locking mechanism to secure the blade in position. Use the blade edge to scribe the angle onto the workpiece or to mark cut lines. For repeated marks, keep the blade locked and use the stock as a guide to maintain consistency across multiple pieces.

Usage recommendations

Store the bevel gauge in a dry place to prevent swelling of the wooden stock and ensure smooth blade movement. Periodically check and tighten the locking mechanism to retain accuracy. For more precise layout work, combine the bevel gauge with a marking knife or pencil suited to the material being worked on.
