Sliding T-bevel How2

High School Carpentry class hand tool instruction.

[@João_Viajante]

the best explanation for using a t-bevel on youtube. Bravo.

[@themeat5053]

Thanks, this is the best explanation of the T-bevel that I've seen on the net.

[@grahamscholes1478]

Thank you for your demonstration of this tool Graham UK

[@Candoit2]

Thank you so much! You should be an instructor! Clear and concise. SUBSCRIBED.

[@vjwanner5799]

Actually I am. That is why I'm making videos. I could not find anything simple enough to teach beginning students. "If it doesn't exist, make your own."

[@MrJasdog107]

Just the video i was looking for thank you from the UK.

[@nasaretasmith9772]

Nice how to use explanation.

[@ron1martens]

Great video. Thanks for uploading. Good tool.

[@pianobar7801]

Very helpful thanks for posting.

[@ronswoodshack3855]

Awesome!!! Saw one of these at an antique store. It was old but in good shape

[@vjwanner5799]

My Dad had one in his tool box but I never saw him use it. I still have it. I made up my own name (Transfer Tool) and figured out how to use it. I was 45 before I learned the official name.

Thank you very much for your great instruction!

[@jpvintage]

Thank you. Excellent tutorial.

[@jorgeprieto2228]

Thanks for simplifying this tool

Thanks for this, using a t-bevel to redo stair treads vs setting up a jig.

[@vjwanner5799]

I always u my bevel on treads. Never seen framing close enough to satisfy me

[@areid1440]

Excellent lesson!!!!

[@robira1313]

When you draw your layout line, does it matter if you use the inside part of the blade or the outside part?

[@vjwanner5799]

Either way. Will produce same angle. Out of habit, I usually use outside edge.

[@u-shanks4915]

Thanks this was helpful

[@stephenbryant7873]

At about 2:43 it looks like the blade is not flat on the wood. The tip is touching but there is a gap that gets bigger as you approach the pivot. Isn't the angle captured by the T-bevel a little too large?

[@vjwanner5799]

If angle is larger than can cut on a miter saw, can freehand.

[@DeborahKathleen1]

Can you tell me why the blade is sharp on the edge...why does it look like an exacto knife at the very end? Does that serve a purpose?

[@vjwanner5799]

It is not sharp. Just flat. The point allows you to measure inside corners.

[@ron1martens]

Deborah Mounts
I guess you can measure a specified distance to the point when measuring. Also that it slides in and locks so it packs away nicely without been damaged.

[@paulniederstadt4891]

I have my grandfather’s old , full metal bodied , no liquid level , Craftsman T-bevel and was wondering how it was used .

[@LCHSconstruction]

Awesome. Olde tools can carry memories.

[@kavindugilshan]

Thank you

[@Snail_Shell]

Why does the metal blade have a 45degree angle the end?

[@vjwanner5799]

Gives a stop when retracted into handle.

[@df4196]

How do you set an accurate angle on the miter without measuring the angle?

[@vjwanner5799]

Can either freehand cut or use TBevel to set angle on miter saw

[@robira1313]

@@vjwanner5799 -but the question was HOW do you set the miter saw angle?

[@vjwanner5799]

Line handle against miter saw base. Then swing miter over to match edge of Tbevel.
I use a slide saw, so i slide it in and out trying to get best accuracy.
Then lock saw down. If making a bunch of cuts, just note the angle on the saw gage.

[@kociarz46]

@@robira1313on your miter saw get a pc of wood and clamp it down so the pc your cutting is aligned with saw blade and Wella cut

[@toddpeters9007]

Thanks

[@the619savage]

Why did you measure on the inside then marked on the outside?

[@LCHSconstruction]

The angle is the same on either side of the tool

[@vjwanner5799]

Just like Geometry class way back when, the angles are the same. So, you can scribe your transferred line from either side.

Tutorials aren't playing on Veterans' Day. Why?

[@vjwanner5799]

Sorry
No idea
