No Idea Posted July 3, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2022 Hi All I want to get myself a really nice 4" sliding bevel preferably made completely from metal. I'm struggling to find a really decent one as Richard Kell no longer makes them and Vesper tools in Australia do not take back orders anymore. If anyone knows of a 4" sliding bevel supplier could you please point me in the right direction Cheers Mark thibaultron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that is nice 👍 Thanks very much for pointing me in this direction and I'll have a good look at this one. It may be a little bit too big for model ship building but what a lovely tool it is! 13 minutes ago, bruce d said: Mark, Timberline is certainly worth a call: Exotic Hard Woods | Catalogues 2021 | Specialist Woods, Veneers, Tonewoods, Marquetry, Sundries, Tools 01732 355626, not everything is in the catalogue. My go-to guys. Hi Bruce - yep these are my go to guys as well. I buy all of my wood from these people and I did not know that they sold tools too. I'll give them a ring in the morning to see if they have anything in stock or any ideas too. Thanks again 👍 bruce d, mtaylor and thibaultron 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
