The diagrams below show all the views as described above but with the addition of the two
showing the primary and secondary bevel angles depending on the type of wood to be worked.
Please refer to the angle setter information guide on the front of the system for more recommended bevel angles.
Achieving the exact bevel angle on any ngernail or long grind gouge has
never been easier than with the ProSet.
By placing the gouge into the clamp of the prole arm and then extending
the gouge upto the required stop and locking it into place the turner will
be able to obtain precise and repeatable bevel angles.
