How can you measure wood face angle (i.e open/ closed)?

Hi all,

Is there an easy way and/or cheap tool for measuring face angle on woods (i.e to see if they are open/ closed)?

The only way I know of is to get and upmarket loft and lie machine with a face angle guage like that below, not an option I fancy exploring!!

Someone suggested using a protractor with the shaft as the zero line, is this an option?


Thanks,

Rob

The gizmo you show is really the only accurate way.

Does anywhere just sell the guage bit?

A used guage for sale just got posted.
