🔧 Optimized 45/90 Degree Layout Miter Gauge Review

I've always wanted to find the best way to mark bevel cuts for metalworking. I've cut a lot of square tubing for projects and transferring the tip to the material before sawing can be tricky with a regular triangle or rounded corners. This tool solves this problem. It's well made and worth every penny.

Handy marking tool. I checked the square with the set square and hit the bull's eye. There was a very small burr on the outer corner which I removed with 1000g sandpaper on a flat stone, very easy to fix. The machined surface provides even contact, so I know this is true on the plane as well, at both 90 and 45 degree angles. Worth a small investment.

I like it. I'm not sure what to do with it and it's metric, but I'll find out. First, it looks like a great tool for marking tenon and tendon joints. Can't wait for the ice and snow to melt to try it. This is the only downside (aside from being metric) while the measurement markings are engraved and the numbers appear as silkscreened.

love this angled lead. nice to use on the sides of your project to easily move the line around the top to one side. It's made of aluminum, so it's a little lighter. but well written and easy to read. Because of the shape, I'd like it to be steel or thicker aluminum. but I like that it has 90 and 45 degree angles since it's mitered.

Checking with a combination square shows the accuracy of all the squares. Well made piece and good size for general use, made from fairly thin aluminium. Shipping protection needs improvement - it came in a plain envelope with no protection. As I picked up the envelope, I resigned myself to returning it. Surprisingly, the device arrived safely! This is a precision marking tool, do not drop or step on it! Everything will be fine.

When assembling the cabinets I had to "continue" the lines to the next side of the doors. Using a regular combined square wasn't accurate enough, so a "saddle square" was required. This one is a little bigger than I would like and the markings are metric. However, labeling is not required. The square is very accurate. When working in tight spaces, size can be an issue. Of course it was good value for money.

Good idea and I thought it would be as accurate as the basic stainless steel 45 degree angle marker sold by others on Revain. It's soft aluminum and 2 sides are curved, so the 90 degree angle is off and doesn't indicate if the 2 sides of the box are square. Unfortunately that's why I bought it. If I had kept the packaging I would have gone back. If everything is fine with you, everything should work fine. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense. Unsatisfied.

This is a great job with reliable (as far as I can tell) 90 and 45 degree angles. great edge for what is labeled. This is not for heavy construction work, but more suitable for woodworking where more accurate marking is desired. And for what it is, it's very aesthetic! Please note, if you don't speak metric (or are willing to learn), which I do, this is not the device for you. It's aluminum, stainless steel would be really cool!

Thing is great, maybe not for the frame of a house but for carpentry. Not too big, not too small. I'm always finding new ways to use it. Although it's a metric, I almost think they had SAE in mind when they designed it. The trick is to sand the wood down to 5/8 x 2 3/8 (I use a jig when planing) and then use wood of that size for my project. When you do this, the inner "hole" on the 90 degree side of the template is just perfect for marking the groove and chord without having to measure…
