Abstract
An angle cutting transfer tool for determining and delineating the midline axis of a joint onto a workpiece for cutting on a saw. The transfer tool includes two leg members pivotally connected together at one end. Pivotally attached to the inside edge of each leg member is a blade. During use, the two leg members are placed between two adjoining substructure surfaces upon which the two workpieces are to be joined. The transfer tool is then removed and one leg member is longitudinally aligned over a template. The blades are then rotated until they intersect at an equidistant point along one edge of the blades. A line is then drawn on the template from the center axis of the transfer tool to the intersecting point of the blades which delineates the midline axis of the joint. The miter or table saw is then adjusted so that the blade cuts along the line that delineates the midline axis of the joint. The workpieces are then selected and cut with the saw.
