Angles

[Locky]

May seem a daft question, but what is best used to measure the angles on the box section so i am gutting at the right degree?
Cheers.

Good luck gutting 25x25 box! I struggle with rabbits :)

This will do every angle you need to cut, it's what we use every day to make the compound cuts and to set the lathe for the fish mouths on the wishbone tubes.

I prefer the one available from Machine Mart as it allows the steel rule guide to sit ontop of the steel box section (as it is stepped) and so ensures the guide is set at the angle using the steel to be cut as the horizontal plain.

A little more expensive but very robust & accurate.
