| Veritas Sliding Bevels |
|
The folks at Veritas got the idea for the cam locking mechanism on this sliding bevel from a model made in the early 1900s. They improved it substantially, making a better mechanism of bronze, combining it with a stainless-steel blade and housing both in a resin-impregnated wood body; it could be used under water without damage.
The obvious benefit of this design is that the locking mechanism is completely flush, allowing the bevel to be used on either side. But more importantly, it can be used in the most restricted places since the lever cam lock can be operated with a single finger. Since the locking mechanism operates by compression with no rotary movement, accuracy is perfect. This is the best sliding bevel design on the market.
The sliding bevel with a 10" blade has become one of our most popular Veritas® products. For model makers, the mini bevel is a small jewel with a 4" blade and an overall weight of less than an ounce.
