Stanley No.24 patent combination try square and bevel

[SteveF]

I don't think I ever showed this off. I picked it up locally a few years ago. It's in the rarer 4" size.

Nice Steve. I have a machinist version very handy things to have when dealing with tight bevels.

That's a lovely tool, and an interesting design. Is there a way to set acute inside angles with it? Or do you keep another bevel around for such purposes? What are the benefits of this particular design?

[Dennis Puskar]

Never seen one like that, neat.

You would definitely need a regular bevel for inside bevels. I can see it would be handy. It must not have been all that useful though, they were only made from 1865 to 1892.
