Adjustable Bevel

A hand tool for marking angles. Consisting of a stock, either metal or wood, and a movable sliding metal or wood blade.

The photo here is of a carpenter's bevel with a wooden stock. When not in use the steel blade is designed to partly tuck inside the handle. The wing nut is the means of tightening the bevel into position.

A metal workers all steel bevel. This is an old example, and the fine graduations on the semicircular scale do not show up on the photograph.

All for ourselves, and nothing for other people, seems, in every age of the world, to have been the vile maxim of the masters of mankind." Adam Smith 1723-1790
