Actually I am. That is why I'm making videos. I could not find anything simple enough to teach beginning students. "If it doesn't exist, make your own."
My Dad had one in his tool box but I never saw him use it. I still have it. I made up my own name (Transfer Tool) and figured out how to use it. I was 45 before I learned the official name.
At about 2:43 it looks like the blade is not flat on the wood. The tip is touching but there is a gap that gets bigger as you approach the pivot. Isn't the angle captured by the T-bevel a little too large?
Deborah Mounts I guess you can measure a specified distance to the point when measuring. Also that it slides in and locks so it packs away nicely without been damaged.
Line handle against miter saw base. Then swing miter over to match edge of Tbevel. I use a slide saw, so i slide it in and out trying to get best accuracy. Then lock saw down. If making a bunch of cuts, just note the angle on the saw gage.
Thanks, this is the best explanation of the T-bevel that I've seen on the net.
the best explanation for using a t-bevel on youtube. Bravo.
Thank you for your demonstration of this tool Graham UK
Thank you so much! You should be an instructor! Clear and concise. SUBSCRIBED.

Nice how to use explanation.
Just the video i was looking for thank you from the UK.
Very helpful thanks for posting.
Great video. Thanks for uploading. Good tool.
Thank you. Excellent tutorial.
Thanks for simplifying this tool
Awesome!!! Saw one of these at an antique store. It was old but in good shape

Thanks for this, using a t-bevel to redo stair treads vs setting up a jig.
I always u my bevel on treads. Never seen framing close enough to satisfy me
Excellent lesson!!!!
Thanks this was helpful
Thank you
When you draw your layout line, does it matter if you use the inside part of the blade or the outside part?
Either way. Will produce same angle. Out of habit, I usually use outside edge.
At about 2:43 it looks like the blade is not flat on the wood. The tip is touching but there is a gap that gets bigger as you approach the pivot. Isn't the angle captured by the T-bevel a little too large?
If angle is larger than can cut on a miter saw, can freehand.
Can you tell me why the blade is sharp on the edge...why does it look like an exacto knife at the very end? Does that serve a purpose?
It is not sharp. Just flat. The point allows you to measure inside corners.

I have my grandfather’s old , full metal bodied , no liquid level , Craftsman T-bevel and was wondering how it was used .
Awesome. Olde tools can carry memories.
How do you set an accurate angle on the miter without measuring the angle?
Can either freehand cut or use TBevel to set angle on miter saw
@@vjwanner5799 -but the question was HOW do you set the miter saw angle?
Line handle against miter saw base. Then swing miter over to match edge of Tbevel.
I use a slide saw, so i slide it in and out trying to get best accuracy.
Then lock saw down. If making a bunch of cuts, just note the angle on the saw gage.
@@robira1313on your miter saw get a pc of wood and clamp it down so the pc your cutting is aligned with saw blade and Wella cut
Why does the metal blade have a 45degree angle the end?
Gives a stop when retracted into handle.
Thank you very much for your great instruction!
Tutorials aren't playing on Veterans' Day. Why?
Sorry
No idea
Why did you measure on the inside then marked on the outside?
The angle is the same on either side of the tool
Just like Geometry class way back when, the angles are the same. So, you can scribe your transferred line from either side.
