Quality beyond measure - a multifunctional essential
Packed with features for precise measurement and designed with decades of woodworking know-how, this tool is a must-have. With an impressive four functions in one tool, you'll find endless uses for it around the workshop.
Marking angles
Measure angles to a high level of accuracy, ideal for setting a bevel or mitre fence to a specific angle. With the indicator arm which locks securely in place with a solid brass knob, you can transfer and lay out accurate angles directly. Angles are marked 0° to 90° left and right in both directions.
Centre rule
There is a photo-chemically-etched centre rule scale along the top of the protractor, with zero in the centre and 50mm scales on each side.
Edge location and centre finding
The protractor has two removable pins for edge location, so you can quickly find and accurately mark out the centre of a board up to 60mm wide.
Height gauge
With scales along three sides of this multifunctional tool, it's very useful when setting up machines fences and can be used as an accurate height gauge.
Designed from experience
This essential tool has been designed with years of woodworking experience, to avoid all of the usual measuring pitfalls. It has easy to read, permanently etched black filled graduations for clarity, as well as a satin chrome anti-glare finish for ease of use. The indicator arm has been designed with a unique deep vee-notch rather than a pointer, which greatly reduces parallax errors for enhanced accuracy.
The Protractor head is 2mm thick, Japanese stainless steel with a satin-chrome, anti-glare finish. It is 120mm x 90mm, the 180° scale starts at 0° in the centre to 90° on either side. All graduations are photo-chemically-etched and black filled for clarity.
The unique indicator arm has a deep vee-notch, rather than a pointer. This design greatly reduces reading errors due to parallax and makes setting the protractor to a specific angle far more accurate. The indicator arm locks securely in place using a solid brass knurled knob. All these features combine to form an easily read, easy-to-use measuring tool.
Along the top edge of the protractor head is a centre rule scale, zero in the centre with 50mm scales on each side. On each side of the head are 0 to 50mm scales, marked every 10mm. The Precision Protractor will allow you to lay out angles directly, set a bevel or set a mitre fence to a specific angle. The top and side scales are very useful when setting up machine fences. The protractor includes two removable location pins, which allow you to use it to quickly find the centre of a board up to 60mm wide.
