Woodworking Sliding Bevel Vorel 270 mm model 18800

The Woodworking Sliding Bevel Vorel 270 mm model 18800 is an adjustable angle tool designed for transferring, setting and checking angles in carpentry and joinery. With a wooden stock and a metal blade that locks in place with a wing nut or screw, this sliding bevel supports precise angle marking and repeatable transfers across a range of woodworking tasks. Its 270 mm blade length provides balance between reach and control for furniture making, framing and general workshop use.

Advantages

The combination of a wooden stock and a durable metal blade delivers stable handling and long-term wear resistance. The locking mechanism allows secure fixation of the blade at the chosen angle for consistent marking and measurement. A 270 mm blade offers sufficient length for transferring common angles while remaining compact enough for bench and site work. The tool’s simple construction makes it easy to maintain and use with standard woodworking workflows.

Suitable for

• Transferring and duplicating angles when fitting joints and hardware
• Setting and checking angles on frames, cabinets and furniture components
• Marking cut lines on boards and moldings for sawing and trimming
• General angle measurement and layout in carpentry and joinery

Key specifications

• Blade length: 270 mm
• Stock material: wood
• Blade material: metal
• Adjustable locking: wing nut/screw mechanism for blade fixation
• Tool type: adjustable sliding bevel for angle transfer and marking

How to use

Place the wooden stock against the reference face of the workpiece, open the metal blade and align it with the angle to be transferred or measured. Tighten the wing nut or screw to lock the blade at the desired angle. Use the locked bevel to mark the cut line or to transfer the angle to another workpiece by holding the stock firmly and scribing along the blade. To check angles, align the blade with the edge or face being measured and verify the position before releasing the lock.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, ensure the stock contact face and blade edge are clean and free of debris before measuring. When transferring critical angles, clamp the workpiece to prevent movement and re-check the blade lock before marking. Periodically inspect the locking mechanism for wear and tighten as needed; a slight lubrication of the screw thread will help maintain smooth adjustment.
