An Izzy Swan invention

A bevel gauge is a handy thing to have in a shop. It's ideal for when you're transferring angles from existing components onto a workpiece, and you don't have to fuss with numbers at all.

However, if you're starting from scratch and need to scribe precise angles off of a drawing, the tool must be paired with a protractor.

This new Tyton Pro Tract, invented by Izzy Swan, is for the latter situation. Rather than fussing with two tools, the Tyton lets you quickly accomplish the task with one.

Here's an overview of the tool, revealing its additional center-finding and line-marking capabilities:

Over-engineered costly monstrosity. I have one of these $9:

But machined anodized aluminum, so MUST be superior, right?
