General Tools T-Bevel Gauge & Protractor - Digital Angle Finder with Full LCD Display & 8" Stainless Steel Blade

This is appears (time will tell) to be a quality bevel gauge that is well priced, providing ease of use and accurate enough results.

I love the accuracy of this bevel gauge. With a traditional qauge, if it slips just slighting while handling it, you might not notice, but with this digital readout, you can be sure you're using the exact same angle measurement, as you'll see the readout change. Based on that, a suggestion for an improvement: enable a "hold" setting that alerts you (a beep, or a flashing display?) when the gauge deviates slightly from the angle you set on "hold" and indicates when you've correctly adjusted it back to the "hold" setting.

This is a neat little device for the price. If you want high accuracy you will find yourself chasing precise measurements because it is a little flimsy and the sliders are short on these types of gauges. You should expect +/- 0.5 deg or so repeatability. It's accurate enough for most measurements and it should function as a regular bevel gauge as well as any other in this price range.It does have a zero reference (one reviewer said it did not). The instructions are very clear and it is easy to zero. You can flip the display, flip the angle reading and save a reading as well. The controls are intuitive and it has a large easy to read display.I give this 4 stars because it is a bargain at this price. It does feel flimsy and delicate but that doesn't always mean it won't hold up well - time will tell...

Good angle finder

If you're looking for a nice digital angle gauge, look no further. This is a very nice digital gauge and it's size is good too - not too small and not too big.

So far seems to be a great product

This is an addendum to my previous review since I wanted to mention an important issue which may or may not been mentioned others. In summary, this digital angle finder is more versatile than others due to the sliding bar. The issues that I have found, compared to other digital angle finds that I have, are that there is that you seem to have to zero the unit every time by sliding the movable bar back into the main housing and the second, more serious issue is that the tightening screw is very short such that the tightening nut can easily come off. I have lose the screw and nut several times (although finally finding them luckily). Be careful of this! You can replace the screw and nut with a machine screw, thumb nut, and washers, if necessary. Not as elegant but more secure (by using a self securing nut after the thumb screw) and easily replaceable if lost. Since I lost the supplied nut and screw several times, I keep a backup screw and thumb nut. The display not very bright nor back lit. Sometimes I have to use a flashlight to see it. I wish some one would make a unit like t his with an led display instead of an lcd (in spite of the extra power required since the unit is only needed for a few seconds.) Other than these issues, it is a very good unit and smaller than others. General typically makes quality tools so it is surprising that they overlooked the screw issue (although mostly an irritant).

Works awesome

Works great easy to use

No tengo quejas, salvó por la calidad del plástico que es bastante barato, pues se marca y abolla con facilidad, fuera de eso, me parece un muy buen instrumento para piezas grandes y medianas. Para espacios pequeños dónde ocupaba medir ángulos internos me estorba el propio aparato, pero aún así, es un muy buen producto que te saca de broncas

Atende plenamente, minhas nessecidades... grato

En la imagen engaña, es más pequeño que lo que pensava.

Perfekt
