On all sawing-machines it is desirable to have a gauge which is at once accurate and easily operated. There are numbers of them upon the market, some for square work only, others only for bevel work. One, which is shown (Fig. 1) is a combination gauge, made by H. L. Beach, for both square and beveled sawing. Its essential or main feature is the use of an eccentric and lever for locking its two adjustable portions. There is the sliding piece running in a groove regulating the distance of the gauge from the saw-disk: and this, by a single motion of its lever, is loosened or tightened. The fence proper is pivoted on a horizontal axis, and may be set at any degree of bevel with the vertical, as indicated by a pointer and a graduated circumference; the same simple eccentric and lever loosening or locking it by a pinching device. There are two adjusting set-screws for keeping it in alignment with the saw. It may be readily attached to any common saw-table.
