PATTERN MAKING

BEVELS. 



The bevel illustrated in Fig. 54, with the clamping screw in 

 the end of the handle, is the most accurate and the most easily 

 adjusted style of this indispensable tool. The blades are made 

 from 6 to 12 inches in length, and have a slot in one end, which 

 admits of that end being 

 shortened to meet the require- 

 ments of work. 



The small Universal bevel, 

 illustrated in Fig. 55, like the 

 adjustable try-square, is not 

 an expensive tool, and will 

 be found generally useful, 

 especially in working the draft 

 on patterns, and in turning 

 the parts of patterns on the 

 wood lathe which cannot be 

 reached with an ordinary 

 bevel. The set-off in the blade 

 increases its capacity and use- 

 fulness, so that any angle, 

 however slight, can be ob- 

 tained. Fig. 54. 



One 3-inch Universal, and one 8-inch or 10-inch ordinary 



Fig. 55. 



bevel, will meet all the requirements of the pattern maker for 

 the beveled edges and surfaces and the draft of pattern work.
