Product Information

Full details

This AB Tools Carpenter Adjustable Wood Sliding Bevel (TE591) is designed for woodworkers who need to accurately transfer angles, especially in tight spaces. Its key benefit is the durable hardwood construction with brass fittings for longevity and precision. A potential caveat is its manual adjustment mechanism, which may require occasional re-tightening for consistent accuracy over time. This tool features a natural hardwood handle, solid brass ends, a U-shaped brass profile for blade protection, and a blued steel blade, making it a reliable addition to any woodworking toolkit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What material is the handle made of?

The handle is made of natural hardwood.

What is the blade made of?

The blade is made of blued steel.

What are the brass parts for?

The solid brass ends and U-shaped profile are designed to prevent wear on the tool and protect the blade.

What is the overall length of the tool?

The blade length is 7.5 inches (19cm).

Can this tool measure any angle?

This tool is designed to measure and transfer specific angles. It is not a protractor for reading arbitrary angles, but rather for duplicating an existing angle.

How do I adjust the angle?

Loosen the locking nut on the handle, adjust the blade to the desired angle, and then retighten the locking nut to secure it.

Is this tool suitable for metalworking?

This tool is specifically designed for woodworking applications. Its materials and design are optimized for wood.

Troubleshooting

Blade does not hold angle securely

Ensure the locking nut is tightened sufficiently. If it continues to slip, inspect the threads for debris or wear and clean them. Avoid overtightening.

Difficulty extending or retracting the blade

Check for any dust or debris obstructing the blade's path. Gently clean the blade and the channel it slides in. Ensure the locking nut is slightly loosened before adjusting.

Brass fittings appear worn

This is normal wear over time with heavy use. The solid brass is designed to wear slower than other materials and protects the hardwood. Clean with a dry cloth. Excessive wear might indicate the need for replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with hardwood and brass components.
  • Ideal for transferring angles in confined spaces.
  • Blued steel blade resists rust and wear.
  • Provides a secure way to mark and transfer angles.

Cons

  • Requires manual tightening, which may loosen with heavy use.
  • Not suitable for extremely large or complex angles.
  • Blade length might be limiting for very large projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Extend or retract the blued steel blade to your desired angle.
  2. Tighten the locking nut located on the handle to secure the blade in position.

Compatibility:

This sliding bevel is designed for manual angle transfer and is compatible with all standard woodworking practices. It does not require electrical power or specific software.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the blade and brass fittings with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and debris.
  • Storage: Store in a dry place to prevent rust on the steel blade. Consider storing in a protective case or pouch.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the locking nut to ensure it is snug and holding the blade securely. If the mechanism feels loose, gently tighten the nut. Avoid overtightening, which could damage the threads.
