Simply insert the two plastic legs into a corner, align them along the walls, and secure them with the eccentric lever, designed for easy operation even in confined spaces. The gauge features two integrated magnets to position it at the saw blade, ensuring accurate alignment at the adjustable stops. Its automatic angle bisector guarantees the correct mitre cut, simplifying your work and minimizing errors. This tool also includes telescopic corner callipers for measuring outside corners and a foldable limit stop for marking angles directly on your workpiece. It is ideal for measuring and transferring wall angles from 30 to 180 degrees.
This guide is for anyone using the Wolfcraft Angular Bevel Gauge to make precise cuts with a mitre saw. It simplifies measuring and transferring angles, ensuring accurate mitre cuts. A key benefit is the reduction of errors and waste, especially when working with angles from 30 to 180 degrees. However, it's essential to ensure the gauge is properly aligned for optimal results.

FAQs
How do I measure an angle?
Place the gauge in the corner, align it with the walls, and secure it with the eccentric lever. The gauge will then display the angle.
How do I transfer the angle to my mitre saw?
Position the gauge at the saw blade using the magnets and align it with the adjustable stops on your saw. Use the marked angle on the gauge to set the blade.
What is the measurement range of the gauge?
The gauge measures angles from 30 to 180 degrees.
What materials is the gauge made of?
The gauge is made of plastic.
Can I use this gauge for outside corners?
Yes, it includes telescopic corner callipers for measuring outside corners.
How do I maintain the gauge?
Clean the gauge with a damp cloth after use. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
What is the purpose of the automatic angle bisector?
It ensures the correct mitre cut, making your work easier and reducing errors.
Troubleshooting
Measurements are inaccurate.
Ensure the gauge is properly aligned and the eccentric lever is securely fastened. Check for any debris or obstructions preventing accurate measurements.
The gauge doesn't fit in the corner.
Make sure the gauge is fully extended or adjusted to the correct size. Try loosening the eccentric lever slightly to allow for easier fitting.
The magnets don't hold the gauge in place.
Ensure the saw blade is clean and free of debris. If the magnets are weak, consider using additional support to hold the gauge steady during alignment.
