90 degree depth gauge..

[Roy]

Alright getting a few questions about my barrel depth gauge. Hope these pictures help. A 90 degree angle will work on any round, oct/rnd, oct. swamped barrel along any point. As long as your are inletting the barrel halfway and as long as you have the side profiles properly marked. :thumbsup:

My advice is do not try to over think it.. just use it :thumbsup:

man that is one thick walled round barrel. Thanks for the tip on the gauge. I think I could afford one of those. :thumbsup:

That is a barrel blank I guess.. :haha: A friend of mine sent that home with me to make something, one day, out of it :thumbsup:

Got to love simple tools.. :thumbsup:

Keith I had asked for clarification on it's use because I thought I had to be missing something. Seemed wayyyy tooo easy. Figured I had missed something. Now I really feel like a simpleton :idunno: I don't have a reputation of overthinking but I'm starting to get there :shocked2:

Its a machinist version of a carpenter's square, which has been in use since at least the time when the pyramids were built! I didn't know Grandpa
Stoh was that old? :grin: :bow: :rotf: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yep pretty cool huh?? A simple tool that has been around for that long and yet some people think that its easier to take a measurement every 1/4" to inlet a swamped barrel... :shake:
