it's used to take angle measurement
how to plane a countertop bevel edge The longer the edge the longer the plane you should use. this will help leave a consistent result. set the plane so that you are not taking more than a few thousandths of an inch off each stroke. hold the plane at a 45 degree angle to the surface (most common) and make long steady strokes till you achieve the depth of bevel you desire. Its also a good idea to scribe a light pencil line to indicate the bevel depth.
Get a piece of filler wire and put half it's length inside the top of the pipe, call it the x-axis. Bend the outer half of the wire straight up to a 90 deg. angle, call it the y-axis. The angle measured from this y-axis to the face of the bevel is the bevel angle. Put another way, measure from the perpendicular line relative to the length of pipe, to the bevel. Industry standard is a 37.5 deg bevel. Now keep your bent filler wire handy and use as a gauge to check bevel angle. The angle of the wire is 90 deg minus the 37.5 deg = 52.5 deg.
