Feature

●Many times while sharpening our turning and general shop tools, we setup our jigs and fixtures to prescribed angles. Thing is, most sharpening systems don’t supply us with any way of checking our angles while we work. With the steel Savannah Turning Tool Angle Gauge you can check 8 different angles that are commonly used for various wood turning tools as well as common shop tools like chisels. It’s perfect for checking your angles on the fly while your honing your tools.
●Quick angle checking has never been easier while sharpening or for just simply checking the angle of an old tool laying around your workshop. The steel 3” diameter Savannah Turning Tool Angle Gauge comes with a turning tool angle chart to quickly identify the correct recommended angles for 8 turning tools.
●The Savannah Angle Turning Tool Angle Gauge can determine the following angles: 30 degree for aggressive spindle gouge angle, 37 degree for skew chisels, 40 degree for spindle gouges, 45 degree for bowl gouges, 50 degree for roughing gouges, 55 degree for bowl gouges, 60 degree (blunted for strong cutting edges) and 82 degrees for bowl scrapers. Each of these specific tool angles are recommendations only.
●Some general tool angles that can also be checked with this gauge: 30 degree for standard chisels and hand plane blades, 45 degree for axes, wood turning parting tools and 50 degrees for various other turning tools.
●The degree markings on the angle gauge are stamped into the steel so you will always be able to read the angles without fear of them wearing off over time. The gauge is made from steel and measures approximately 3 inches in diameter. It has a pre-drilled hole at the top for easy storage or to hang from a keychain if you do a lot of sharpening.
