Nobex - Multifix Combination Protractor and Sliding T-Bevel
Oct 25, 2005
Build a better mousetrap? Nobex, a Swedish company, has done it with its Multifix tool, a combination protractor and sliding T-bevel. I found it useful because it automatically determines the bisecting angle for any miter joint. You’ll still need to make the micro-adjustments to get a perfect fit, but the Multifix gets you very close on the first try.
To use the tool, loosen the knob and set the two outside blades to the angle you want to miter. Then unclip one blade from the Multifix tool, and you’re left with the proper angle for a miter saw or miter gauge.

With smooth, precise adjustments and wonderful balance, this compact block plane is a joy to use. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles, but there’s not a better block plane available for the money.

These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
