Kirschen Gauge for Measuring Cutting Angles of Chisels

Gauge for measuring cutting angle of firmer chisels and carving chisels

• The gauge is made of stainless steel
• The edges are slightly rounded to protect the tool
• It has 4-way angles for firmer chisels, carving chisels and plane irons:

           17° for soft wood (standard angle for carving chisels)

            20° for medium-hard wood

            25° for hard wood (standard angle for firmer chisels)

            27° for very hard wood

• The round hole at the end of the recess prevents the cutting edge from touching the gauge during the test procedure
• A permanent marking has been applied by a laser that does not fade even after frequent use of the gauge
• The large opening at the end of the gauge can be used as a bottle opener
• For safe storage of the gauge, a high quality leather case is included
