Shinwa Rules Co., Ltd. was formed in 1971, when three measuring-tool makers, Watanabe Doki Seisakusho, Hanyu Keiki and Watasei Doki, merged in the Tsubame-Sanjō region of Niigata, a centre of Japanese metalworking for centuries.
Shinwa has focused on accuracy from the start. It patented a calibration method for stainless steel rules in 1977, gained ISO 9001 certification in 1999 and became a JCSS-accredited calibration laboratory in 2001. The company opened an office in Dalian, China, in 1991 and a branch in Illinois, USA, in 2007.
Shinwa is now Japan's top-selling maker of metal rules. Its squares, rules, sashigane, marking gauges and levels are used every day by carpenters, metalworkers and makers who need measurements they can trust.

A sliding bevel (also called a bevel gauge or false square) doesn't measure to a fixed angle - it lets you capture any angle from an existing surface or drawing and transfer it exactly to your workpiece. That makes it essential wherever the angle isn't a clean 45° or 90°: dovetails, roof and stair pitches, angled joinery, or scribing to an out-of-square wall.
This Shinwa bevel is made in Japan from lightweight aluminium, with a smooth-sliding blade and a locking knob that holds your set angle firmly without slipping mid-transfer. The matte finish cuts glare so the scale stays readable under workshop lights, and the extended arms give you a longer, more stable registration surface than a typical hardware-store bevel.
Available in 30cm, 45cm, and 60cm. Pick the length that matches your work: 30cm for bench-top joinery and detail work, 45cm as an all-round size, and 60cm for large-panel or framing layout where a longer arm keeps the angle accurate across a wider span.
