This guide is for woodworkers and craftspeople who need to accurately transfer angles. The C.K Tools Sliding Bevel offers a durable and precise tool for marking and checking angles on various materials. Its main limitation is that the wooden stock may be susceptible to moisture damage if not cared for properly.

It is primarily designed for marking angles on wood, but can also be used on softer materials like plastic or thin metal for transfer purposes.
Use a reliable edge or angle gauge to initially set the bevel, then tighten the wing nut securely. Always double-check the setting against your reference before marking.
Like most steel tools, it can rust if exposed to moisture. Regular cleaning and drying, along with occasional light oiling, will prevent this.
Brass is durable and less prone to corrosion than some other metals, and it provides a good grip for the wing nut and protective plates.
It is for transferring angles, not for precise linear measurement. Its strength lies in accurately duplicating an angle from one point to another.
Store it in a dry environment, such as a toolbox or workshop drawer, to protect the wooden stock and steel blade from moisture and damage.
Ensure the brass wing nut is fully loosened. Check the sliding mechanism for any sawdust or debris and clean it. A very light application of wax or machine oil might help if it's persistent.
Check the threads of the wing nut and the corresponding threaded post for any dirt or damage. Clean the threads gently. Ensure the blade is not binding when you attempt to tighten.
Ensure you are tightening the brass wing nut sufficiently. If the threads appear worn, consider if replacement parts are available or if the tool needs replacement.
Setup: The C.K Tools Sliding Bevel requires no complex setup. Simply loosen the brass wing nut to allow the steel blade to slide freely. Place the blade against the desired angle, slide it until it matches, and then tighten the wing nut firmly to secure the angle.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for manual use in woodworking, joinery, and general DIY tasks. It is compatible with most standard woodworking tools for marking purposes.
Care: To ensure longevity, keep the tool clean and dry. After use, wipe the steel blade with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. For storage, consider a dry toolbox or workshop environment. Occasionally, a light application of oil on the blade can help prevent rust.
