Shinwa 10" Aluminum Sliding Bevel Gauge auger bits One edge of the dogThis 10" aluminum sliding bevel gauge is made by Shinwa in Japan. The stainless steel blade is 10" long and can be set at angles between 0and 180. The locking knob is recessed in the end which keeps it out of the way and allows the gauge to be used on either side. A good value in a 10" sliding bevel gauge with very good locking mechanism.
