Turning Tool Angle Gauge

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.

Features:

• Check 8 different, commonly used angles
• 3” diameter
• Steel construction
• Turning tool angle chart included
• Degree markings are stamped into the steel
• Pre-drilled hole at the top for easy storage

Determine the following angles:

• 30° for aggressive spindle gouge
• 37° for skew chisels
• 40° for spindle gouges
• 45° for bowl gouges
