Which tool is used for transferring angles and can be set at any angle from 0 to 180?

• A. Sliding T bevel
• B. 6mm or 1/4
• C. Burnisher
• D. Green metal snips

Answer: (A)

Transferring angles relies on a tool you can set to any angle and then lock in place to copy that exact angle onto another piece. The sliding T bevel does this perfectly. It has a movable blade that you can rotate to align with the angle you want, and then you lock it so the angle doesn’t change. You can set it anywhere from 0 to 180 degrees, which covers all common acute, right, and obtuse angles you’ll encounter in timber work. Once it's set, you use the blade as a template to mark or scribe the same angle on another workpiece, ensuring joints or cuts match precisely.

The other options aren’t about transferring angles: a measurement like 6 mm or 1/4 is just a dimension, not a tool. A burnisher is for smoothing or polishing metal or wood surfaces and doesn’t help with copying angles. Green metal snips are cutting tools for metal, not for marking or transferring angles.
