protactor [Posted on 2008-04-05]
My husband is a do it yourselfer and is very excited to use this protactor, he was not able to always mitre a corner to fit well but this instrument should help with that.
Poorly manufactured [Posted on 2008-08-11]
The protractor I received was defective in its manufacture. Product advertising describes and shows both a red degree scale and a red arrow. The unit I receved did not have the red scale and only part of the arrow was red. I contacted the manufacturer and they provided sympathy only, and no resolution to the problem except "return it." Thank you amazon.com for making return of this item painless! I will no longer consider Starrett for future tool purchases.
Best layout and fitup protractor I have [Posted on 2008-09-16]
Starrett 505A-12 ProSite 12-Inch Dial Protractor
I own a 'pro' design, fab. & welding shop--so, I've got at least 6 other protractors.
However, upon seeing a write up by another fabricator, on Welding Web site--show
and discuss this item---I bought it.
1-It takes the math and headscratching out of figuring mitre joint angles.
2-It's tight, not sloppy and big enough to use very easily for angle fitups and measuring during fitup.
3-It's a Starrett tool (and I have other pricey, Starett items)---which means quality.
4-I'm too poor be able to afford cheap tools.
Scale is way off [Posted on 2008-09-18]
If you are looking for accuracy, look elsewhere. This scale is off by 1-2° which is unacceptable for anything but rough framing perhaps.
Gotta have one. [Posted on 2008-11-12]
I had one of these before but couldn't find it so I bought another. It really comes in handy when your doing crown molding. It saves you from going up and down the ladder a hundred times making trial cuts or wasting a piece of material because the walls aren't built at the angles they're supposed to be. It helps you look like you know what you're doing.
