Mine is on the TS in my shop, right below the height adj wheel. The smart level is on top of my spray room in one of my old 2'x16"x8' truck boxes ( Weatherguard SuperBox)

My buddy has the Bosch protractor. Cool device. Had a job that had a lot of 45 degree inside corners. I don't cope those (all near 90's get coped, but that's another thread  ) And we all know that 45 degrees is only a myth on walls. SO out of all the corners I did I only had to do one of them a second time. Like I said, cool tool.

The angle finder that comes with the Kapex is better than the Bosch one. I have the older model that does not store the number.

Isn't the Kapex model just an angle divider?

Sort of. You use the legs of it for the angle, lock it, lay it on the saw table and line up the lasers with it. Oh, I hate lasers on a saw, except for that one, they are on both sides of the blade and spot on!!

Yes it does but, I can't find a video that is short enough to show you.
