Mark J Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 I'm looking for a good angle measuring device. I have a Wixey wr41 8" digital protractor and I've come to discover that it is off by .5* as compared to two Woodpecker and one Groz precision squares, all of which agree with each other. Dissapointing, but maybe all you can expect for the price. What's available for measuring any angle accurately to .1* precission? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Depends on your budget. I'd go with a machine shop recommendation if you're really down to the nits, which it appears you are. Although half a degree over a 6 or 8 foot piece would really be less-than-ideal. I have one of those iGaging digital bevel gauges and a Wixey magnetic angle indicator, as well as a regular old bevel gauge for transferring angles. Fowler offers some various digital, vernier and dial protractors that I have no experience with, just know they boast accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
