Johnson Level & Tool 1926-1000 Bamboo T-Bevel

10" Professional Carbonized Bamboo T-Bevel Bamboo is harder than most woods used today and you don't have to cut down any trees go get it. How To Use a Sliding T Bevel The sliding T-bevel can be used to either originate an angle or trace and transfer a current angle. Listed are the steps necessary in order to use the sliding T bevel. To make a new angle: -Loosen the wing nut adjustment so that the blade is free to rotate. -Swing the blade until the desired angle between the handle of the bevel and the blade side is made. This may be best achieved by placing a protractor on the inside of the bevel itself (so that the protractor is resting on the wing nut) and measuring out the desired angle. -Lock the T bevel into place by tightening the wing nut. -Lay the T bevel on your working surface and draw the angle by tracing along the inside of the T bevel blade and handle. -Cut away! To transfer an existing angle: -Loosen the wing nut adjustment so that the blade is free to rotate -Lay the T bevel against the surface of the angle cut to be copied. -Rotate the inside edge of the blade to the existing angle until it matches the angle being transferred. -Tighten the wing nut until it locks the blade and handle in position. -Place the T bevel on the working surface and transfer the angle. -Draw out the angle by tracing along the bevel on the inside edge of the blade and handle.
