Abstract
A digital T-bevel has a blade with a slot along a part of its length and a handle having an end that is mounted both to move along the length of the slot and to pivot with respect to the blade longitudinal axis. The handle also includes an encoder to measure the angle of the handle relative to the blade longitudinal axis and the necessary electronic circuitry to convert the measured angle into digital form to drive a display to visually display the numerical value of the measured angle.
