Woodpeckers Bevel Block for Woodworkers with Common Miter & Dovetail Angles

Established in 1988, Woodpeckers has always been focused on woodworking tools. Starting with a few routers, the company has grown into a full-fledged manufacturer of router lifts, router fences, measuring & layout tools, and many useful clamping accessories. Woodpeckers takes pride in the fact that its tools are truly made in the U.S.A., with the company handling its own machining, engraving, assembly, and packing.

Whether you're marking dovetails, taking off an angle from an antique, or transferring an angle from a plan, you want a bevel gauge that adjusts easily, locks firmly, and won't move again until you want it to. Woodpeckers Sliding Bevel Gauges feature a unique locking mechanism that delivers precisely adjustable drag and positive locking from the end of the tool. The locking knob fits naturally between your thumb and finger and provides positive feedback for tension adjustment. Internally, a wedge multiplies your effort, exerting firm gripping pressure on the blade with only moderate finger pressure.

The clever mechanism inside requires an insert panel, which gave Woodpeckers' product designer an opportunity to have some fun. He jeweled the stainless steel inserts with engine-turning, creating a nostalgic look that brings to mind classic car dashboards and Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis.

Woodpeckers offers two sizes of Sliding Bevel Gauges with the same fundamental design. The smaller 4" model is ideal for dovetails and smaller projects, while the 7" model handles larger furniture projects. Both feature satin-finish stainless steel blades, all stainless steel hardware, jeweled stainless steel inserts, and a "Woodpecker's Red" aluminum body.

To complement the Sliding Bevel Gauges, Woodpeckers offers the Bevel Block, which provides a physical reference for the 5 most common miter angles and the 3 most common dovetail angles. By referencing different sides of the Bevel Block, users can easily access the primary angle, its complement (90° - angle), and its supplement (180° - angle).

The Sliding Bevel Gauges and the Bevel Block are all available individually, or you can save by getting the complete set. Like all Woodpeckers products, these tools are precisely machined and carefully inspected in the company's Strongsville, Ohio, facility just south of Cleveland. Backed by Woodpeckers' commitment to excellence, these tools are built to last a lifetime.
