Angle Finder

RussellF

Anyone used the Starrett Protractor Angle Finder............or any other angle finders?............what do you think? I am thinking that one may be handy to have in the near future. Thanks for any and all replies.

I have one from Mayco Tools that I really like. The only problem I have with it is that the graduations on the scale are really small. I like that it has all the scales I need right on the body and blade.
I have read some not great things about the Starrett, the scale being put on at the factory a bit crooked +/-1 degree. I also know people that love theirs. The bosch digital also looks really nice. $$$$$

I've been using the Bosch A.W. is referring to for about 3-4 years now. Works great and never had a problem with accuracy yet.

Ditto That.

Get the Bosch. My sources tell me they are releasing a G2 model in the very near future. When that happens, I can assure you there will be a flood of G1's for sale on eBay. The G1 is great, don't get me wrong, but there are two things that would be nice to have on the updated model.

I just got the 12" starret for Christmas. When I get back to my shop I'll check the angles, but it's what I asked for.

I have the bosch, well worth the cost. Very accurate.

Very handy.

I use a Starrett but a machinist model (I'm also a machinist) and it's what I have on hand. I also use a machinist's level for setting countertops and shelving. Dump your bag of marbles there and they're staying.
