Wooden Bevel Gauge MEGA 21044, 400 mm measuring blade

The MEGA 21044 wooden bevel gauge with a 400 mm measuring blade is a manual angle transfer and marking tool designed for woodworking tasks. Made primarily of wood with a metal or wooden locking mechanism, this bevel gauge allows users to set, copy and transfer angles between workpieces. The 400 mm blade provides extended reach for larger boards and panels, while the wooden stock offers a familiar, low-weight feel suited to carpentry and joinery environments.

Advantages

The wooden construction reduces weight and prevents damage to delicate surfaces compared with all-metal gauges. The adjustable locking mechanism secures the blade at the selected angle, offering stable repeatability when marking or transferring angles. A longer 400 mm blade increases capacity for measuring and scribing across wider materials, giving greater precision when working with large-format timber, trim or sheet goods.

Suitable for

• Transferring and copying existing angles on timber and mouldings
• Setting mitre and bevel angles for saws and planes
• Marking lines on boards, panels and sheet materials
• Joinery, carpentry and on-site woodworking tasks

Key specifications

• Blade length: 400 mm measured blade for extended reach
• Material: wooden stock with a blade suitable for durable marking and measuring
• Adjustable locking mechanism to fix blade at required angle
• Intended use: manual angle transfer and marking for woodworking

How to use

Loosen the locking mechanism to allow the blade to rotate freely in the stock. Place the stock flat against the reference surface and adjust the blade until it aligns with the angle you intend to copy or measure. Tighten the lock to secure the blade in position. Use the blade edge to scribe a line along the workpiece or transfer the set angle to a saw guide or marking point. For repetitive marks, verify the lock is fully engaged before each use to maintain consistent results.

Usage recommendations

Store the bevel gauge in a dry place to prevent swelling or warping of wooden components. Periodically check the locking mechanism and tighten any retaining screws if they loosen over time. For improved accuracy on finished surfaces, use a sharp pencil or marking knife when scribing along the blade edge.
