 Using the Sliding Bevel
• 1. The stock of the sliding bevel is held firmly
against the wood and the lock is loosened
allowing the angle of the blade to be altered.
• 2. The lock on the sliding bevel is tightened
so that the angle of the blade cannot be
altered accidentally. A marking knife is used
to mark a line at the correct angle.
• 3. The wood is cut to the correct angle using
a saw/fretsaw or appropriate tool.
