How We Build

Feature

BG-1 Indexing Bevel Gauge

Traditional Sliding Bevel

Angle setting method

Patent‑pending internal indexing with positive stops

Friction lock, continuous — no internal index

Common angle shortcuts

15°–165° in 15° steps plus 22.5°, 67.5°, 112.5°, 157.5°, Positive angle stops are within or less than a ±0.5° tolerance.

None — set manually each time

Fine adjustment / readout

Vernier scale to ~0.1° with 1° markings on tool

No on‑tool readout; relies on external protractor/angle finder

Angle & blade locking

Independent locks — adjust blade length without losing angle

Single lock — length changes can shift angle; recheck needed

Stability during adjustment

Retractable kickstand keeps blade flat to the work

None — hand‑held only

Angle retention

Positive stops + cam lock for repeatable, slip‑resistant settings

Friction‑only; bumping/handling can loosen angle

Setup time

Fast — indexed angles in seconds; other angles via vernier

Multi‑step — set with protractor, tighten, recheck

External tools required

No for indexed angles; vernier enables precise angle setting

Often — protractor/angle gauge to read/set

Materials

6061‑T651 aluminum body; 304 SS hardware; PVD‑coated 440C blade; no plastic

Varies (wood/brass/aluminum/stainless), quality varies

Rotation range

10°–170° by design, The BG‑1’s 10°–170° sweep is a design choice for the positive locking mechanism and rigidity; it covers common work angles while maintaining structural integrity

Typically 0°–180° (varies by model)

How It Works

Trusted by Craftsmen

Every Quantis tool embodies precision, discipline, and trust—engineer-tested, craftsman-refined, built for uncompromising performance.

This is the kind of tool that, as soon as you pick it up, you can feel the quality. There is no waste, everything about it is designed with purpose. I used to hate bevel gauges. This one has a permanent spot on my bench.

Furniture Maker

The BG-1 Bevel Gauge is an outstanding piece of precision equipment. The machining quality is exceptional, with every edge and angle feeling dialed-in and reliable. The materials are top-notch as well-solid, durable, and built to hold up to real shop use. It's one of those tools that immediately feels premium in the hand and quickly becomes a go-to for accurate, repeatable setup work. A truly awesome addition to any shop. Little scary to use because of how beautiful it is and get any scratches but it's a tool meant to be used.
