Abstract

Next in importance to accurate measuring in woodwork is accurate layout. The tools that are generally referred to as layout tools are: the try-square, the adjustable square, the sliding T-bevel, and the rule or straight edge for straight lines and angles. The marking gauge is used for scribing parallel lines, while the compass, dividers and trammel points are used for arcs and circles.
