Description :
This R.O. Meredith bevel gauge features a fixed hardwood handle and a steel blade set at a permanent angle. Unlike adjustable or sliding bevels, this version was designed for transferring a specific, consistent angle—likely tailored for repetitive joinery or trim work. The steel blade is solidly riveted to the wood stock, with aged patina and wear that reflects its working life. The maker’s mark, “R.O. Meredith,” is stamped faintly into the wood. A great display piece or collectible for traditional woodworking tool enthusiasts.
