Silverline Mitre Bevel Square 230mm CB72 – Key FAQs

• What is a sliding bevel square used for?
  It’s used to copy, transfer and repeat angles for accurate marking and cutting, especially when corners aren’t a perfect 45° or 90° and need a custom set-out.

• Does this bevel square measure angles in degrees?
  It’s primarily an angle transfer tool rather than a protractor. You set it to an angle on the workpiece, then transfer that same angle to your material for marking.

• Will the blade stay fixed once it’s set?
  Yes. The wing nut clamps the blade securely so you can repeat the same angle across multiple cuts without it slipping during marking.

• Is the Silverline CB72 suitable for skirting and architrave mitres?
  Yes, it’s ideal for marking mitres and coping with corners that are slightly out, helping you set out more accurate trim cuts.

• What materials can I mark out with it?
  It’s commonly used on timber, MDF and sheet materials, and it can also be used for marking on plastics and light metals where a scribed line is suitable.

• Can the blade be folded away for storage?
  Yes. The blade pivots into line with the stock, making it more compact for toolboxes and site bags.

• Is the handle comfortable to use for repeated marking?
  The hardwood stock sits comfortably in the hand and provides stable contact against the workpiece edge, which helps with consistent, repeat markings.

• Can it be used for internal and external angles?
  Yes. You can set the blade to match either internal corners or external edges, then transfer that angle directly onto the material you’re cutting.
