After using the Tormek and WoodCraft bevel gauges, I was delighted to clearly identify the bevels of my chisels and plane blades. The choice of 'notches' in this tool is straight on. Each bevel notch is polished out to make it easy to see light coming past the blade. The gauge itself is beautifully polished brass. I've thrown the other gauges away. I came upon this gauge by watching a video by David Charlesworth. Bravo!

Overall success, I quickly received for I ordered and I am happy with the product. I couldn’t tell if the new store in Idaho was set up yet so I emailed Hardwick and son and about how proceed. They got back to me the next day and I was able to order online with no problems. I ordered two of these cages, one for me and one for my woodworking friend as a gift. Thanks Hardwicks for all the years.

DN03/05/2024Definitely n.United StatesBeautiful, rugged, has the angles you need for woodworking
I have the other version of this too, made from stainless, much thinner and has probably twice as many angles. But for woodworking I only need a few, basically between 15 and 35 in 2.5 degree increments and then 45 for scraper plane blades. This has all the ones I need. It feels nice in the hand, has some weight to it, and is rigid, unlike the stainless version which could bend/crease if you laid it on the bench carelessly and something heavy ended up on it. I definitely recommend this one for woodworking where the bevel angles are in a relatively narrow range and the bevels tend to be longish. This type of gauge won't work for very thin blades like maybe a swiss army knife where the bevel is only a millimeter or two long. Also it's easier to use for single bevel blades, but that accounts for the vast majority of woodworking blades. I would definitely do it again and recommend.
