Overview

Versatile, precise and convenient, the Wixey™ Digital Protractor measures angles in any plane with 0.1° resolution, accuracy, and repeatability. And with magnets embedded in every edge of the protractor, it's especially handy for cast iron power tools such as table saws, band saws, jointers and more-simply set it in place and it automatically references itself to the table, blade and/or fence. Perfect as a digital angle finder for finding and transferring angles, for layout work, and as a setup tool for setting miter and bevel angles, the 8" Wixey™ Digital Protractor will bring your woodworking to the twenty-first century.

Features:
  • Digital protractor has a large display to eliminate the reading errors common in analog protractors
  • Tightening mechanism holds measurements for later transfer when used as a digital angle finder
  • Protractor shuts off automatically for extended battery life

I just completed a small project...
I just completed a small project that involved some complex mitered cuts and the digital readout was very helpful. It certainly would have been a lot more frustrating and less accurate project without this tool. It was a great help for measuring before cutting, for for checking tool setup and for aligning parts when thy were ready to assemple. It's easy to zero and it's accurate to 1/10th of a degree. the two arms move easily and they're tight enough that the protractor holds its position. The battery is a fairly common one that you can probably buy in a large drugstore. But one small caution about the battery: I've had other Wixey digital devices that continue to draw a trickle of power even when they're turned off, and that's resulted in a dead battery. You can avoid that if you pull the battery holder out just a bit when you're done for the day so that the battery disconnects from the contacts inside the housing.

Nice tool, checked against my machinist...
Nice tool, checked against my machinist square repeats 90 degrees every time. However, Wixey tool designers should go back to the drawing board and address the blade locking mechanism. It is not very useful and hard to get to. Blade does not lock well.

This product works great for the...
This product works great for the inspectors checking a weld angle. Much more conventional and quicker to use than basic protractor for inspection. Only issue we have is that it is hard to lock in place, but not a high priority for us.Editor's note: As per Wixey, this feature it is designed to achieve maximum tightening at about halfway. (forcing it any further does not increase the "tightness"). The design is intentional to allow for any fatigue due to long term use. The design intent is for holding measurements rather than for locking of the blade. Intent for use is to only hold angle reading for the blade so one can set or repeat the angle to transfer.

This tool is a life saver for 'angle challenged' folks like me. I would have given it a 5 if the lock worked. I can't believe they made such a nice tool and then skrimped on something like the lock.

I love this tool. As some of the reviews have indicated, the lock mechanism is less than perfect but the utility of the tool overcomes this insignificant shortcoming. All my metal and woodworking friends like it a lot. I'll buy another for as gift for a friend once it goes on sale.

Very easy to use. Have used it to check 45 deg. angle settings on my mitre box, bevel cut settings on my table saw and as a field protractor to measure the angle on a non-square intersection. Great tool.

Very good tool. I used it...
Very good tool. I used it to tune my tablesaw's blade angle. The pointer was never correct. I found that my saw blade was an 89.5 degree angle from the tabletop. The anjustment was easy. This tool works great for me.

This has been a fantastic tool, the fact that I can get my saw or other tool exactly at the angle I need. This tool goes beyond others I have bought. I can easily and accurately get the angle I need for such things as compund cuts on trim. I wish I would have had it many years ago.
