Wooden Bevel Gauge Vorel 400 mm 18810 – adjustable marking and angle transfer tool

Vorel wooden bevel gauge 400 mm (model 18810) is an adjustable marking and angle-transfer tool designed for woodworking and carpentry tasks. The tool has a wooden stock and a movable blade that can be set and locked at any required angle, allowing accurate transfer of bevels and alignment of components. Its 400 mm blade length provides sufficient reach for common joinery and furniture-making applications, while the simple locking mechanism ensures repeatable results on workpieces.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers a stable, tactile feel and low risk of cold conduction when handled in workshop conditions. The adjustable blade permits precise copying and transferring of angles from templates or existing parts. The 400 mm length balances portability and practical coverage for marking larger panels and boards. The tool is straightforward to operate and maintain, with minimal risk of mechanical failure compared with more complex protractors.

Suitable for

• Transferring bevels and angles between components
• Marking cut lines on panels, boards and mouldings
• Joinery and furniture-making layout work
• Checking and aligning mitre joints and trim

Key specifications

• Blade length: 400 mm
• Body material: wood
• Adjustable metal blade for angle transfer
• Locking mechanism to fix chosen angle
• Intended use: woodworking, carpentry, joinery

How to use

Place the bevel gauge against the reference surface or template and rotate the blade until it matches the required angle. Tighten the locking mechanism to secure the blade in position. Transfer the set angle to the workpiece by aligning the gauge and scribing along the blade edge or using the blade as a guide for marking. For repeat operations, confirm the lock is secure and recheck the angle on the template before marking successive pieces.

Usage recommendations

Store the tool in a dry place to prevent swelling or warping of the wooden stock. Periodically check the blade and locking mechanism for wear and ensure the blade remains straight for accurate transfers. Use a sharp pencil or marking knife for cleaner scribe lines when transferring angles on finished surfaces.
