I made this angle gauge because I never liked using a protractor with a bevel gauge. Most protractors are too small and difficult to read and not all that easy to get a bevel gauge to align with properly. This angle gauge is large enough to handle and read easily. I made it out of MDF on my Shopbot.

That’s looks nice!
I’m curious to know why these always have 90° marked as 0°?

I made it this way so the readings from the gauge would match up with the way gauges on most power tools are set up. The bevel and miter gauges on table saws, chop saws, circular saws etc. are all marked so that the 0 reading is making a 90 degree cut.

Great idea, I also have a store bought gauge. And a time or two, it has screwed me up by not adding 90 deg. to reading, for saw setting.

Great idea. I’ve been looking at the Veritas model for a while and I think I won’t have to anymore! Thanks for sharing.
Best,
Serge
