An angle indicating instrument for indicating an angle to be used in the cutting and subsequent joining of pieces of material is disclosed. A first arm and a second arm of the angle indicating instrument are positioned so as to engage the angle indicating instrument in an engaged angle, which is the angle between the two pieces of material to be joined. The indicated angle is a calculated angle and is calculated based on the engaged angle.

An angle indicating instrument, wherein said instrument is adapted for engagement over a range of angles of from slightly greater than 0°up to 180°, any such angle being referred to as the engaged angle when engaged by said instrument, wherein said engaged angle relates to a piece of material to be cut, and wherein said instrument is used to directly indicate and specifically refer to a cutting angle of a beveled cut to be made in said piece of material; said angle indicating instrument comprising: a first arm; a second arm; said first and second arms being joined together in angularly variable relation to one another, with the angle between said first arm and said second arm being said engaged angle; wherein said first arm has an angle indicating means for indicating angles that are the complement of one half of said engaged angle, and that are to be used for forming a beveled cut to be made in said piece of material to be cut in order to adapt said piece of material for beveled adjoinment to another piece of material, wherein said angle indicating means comprises a first scale on a first surface of said first arm, and wherein said first scale is a scale that has angle readings of from 0°to 90°that are evenly displayed over a range of 180°; and wherein said angle indicating means comprises a second scale on said first surface opposite said first scale, and wherein said second scale indicates an angle that is complementary to said engaged angle for acute values of said engaged angle, and indicates an angle that is 90°less than said engaged angle for obtuse values of said engaged angle over a range of 180°; and a reference means on said second arm for simultaneously reading an angle on said first and second scales.
