Product Information

Full details

The Hultafors Sliding Bevel is a precision tool for carpenters, joiners, and construction professionals who need to accurately transfer and measure angles. Its key benefit is a robust design with clear markings and a secure locking mechanism that prevents slippage. A potential caveat is its primary focus on angle work, with depth measurement being a secondary function.

FAQs

What is the blade length of this Hultafors Sliding Bevel?

The blade length is 20cm.

What angle range can be measured with this tool?

The tool can measure and transfer angles from 0° to 90°.

Is the blade reversible for left-handed users?

Yes, the scales and angle markings are printed on both sides of the blade, making it suitable for both left and right-handed use.

What material is the blade made from?

The blade is made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

What material is the stock made from?

The stock is made from certified anodised aluminium.

Can this tool be used for depth measurements?

Yes, the flattened edge of the blade includes a dedicated length scale for depth measurements.

How do I clean and maintain the tool?

Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Store in a dry place. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Blade is stiff or difficult to slide.

Ensure the locking knob is fully loosened. Clean any dust or debris from the sliding track. If necessary, apply a very small amount of light machine oil to the track and work the blade back and forth, wiping off any excess.

Locking knob does not hold the blade securely.

Check that the knob is being tightened sufficiently. Inspect the threads on the knob and the central screw for damage or wear. If damaged, replacement may be necessary.

Markings are difficult to read.

Ensure the tool is clean. For better visibility in low light, consider using a contrasting marker or a magnifying glass.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Accurate angle transfer and measurement due to clear laser-etched scales.
  • Secure locking mechanism prevents the blade from slipping during use.
  • Versatile marking capabilities with both a scribing notch and a marking edge.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel blade and anodised aluminium stock.
  • Suitable for both left and right-handed users.
  • Compact design for easy portability.

Cons

  • Depth measurement scale is integrated onto the marking edge, which may be less intuitive for dedicated depth tasks.
  • Primarily designed for angles; complex geometric measurements might require additional tools.
  • The 20cm blade length may be insufficient for very large projects requiring wider angle spans.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. To set an angle, loosen the locking knob by turning it counter-clockwise.
  2. Slide the blade to the desired angle, using the angle markings as a guide.
  3. Tighten the locking knob firmly by turning it clockwise to secure the blade.
  4. Use the blade to transfer the angle or measurement to your workpiece.

Compatibility:

This tool is designed for manual marking and measurement. It is compatible with standard marking tools such as pencils and marking knives. Its measurements are in millimetres and degrees, aligning with common woodworking and construction standards.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the blade and stock with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the sliding bevel in a dry place, ideally in a tool pocket or a dedicated tool holder, to prevent damage and corrosion. Ensure the blade is retracted or secured when not in use.
  • Lubrication: Periodically, a small drop of light oil may be applied to the sliding mechanism if it becomes stiff, but ensure it is wiped clean afterwards.
