Angle Gauge

[RichColvin]

I've developed a simple, 3D-printed angle gauge which is available for anyone to print.

You can get the design at https://www.sharpeninghandbook.info/Jigs-AngleGauge.html.

Sweet. Sent to my friendly 3D printer guy (AKA my son)!

Rich has several useful and reasonably priced 3D designed tools on his website. They are availably either ready made or just the plans for those who have a 3D printer or access to one.

For many years, I have recommended getting to know a local machinist. I would like to amend that recommend that recommendation to also include either acquiring a 3D printer or getting to know someone with access to one.

Going back a number of years, the problem for third party vendors has been the cost of international shipping. Living in the US, I have paid for shipping to or from Australia and Europe several times. Often the cost of shipping was more than the value of the article. Tariffs further complicate this.  I have several tools from Rich's Colvin Tools. They are well designed and manufactured. Rich provides a useful function of providing useful accessories for the US market at affordable prices and very reasonable shipping costs.

I think getting to know a 3D printer owner is far easier : local libraries or multi-services shops may have one, and home users will usually be more than happy to help. It will save the hassle of having to know about warping, support interfaces, z-hop and retraction, and the like. Which is a(nother) hobby in itself

My son raised the markings, paused the print, and changed the colour to help them stand out.
