Starrett 505P-7 Miter Saw Protractor

I recently purchased this protractor for measuring angles on some carpentry work I've got to do. Unfortunately, when it arrived, i found that the protractor was out by 2 - 3 degrees. I checked the protractor against several different try squares, and every time the protractor read 92 / 93 degrees. Furthermore, the protractor cannot be calibrated in any way by the user, so if the protractor is out you're stuck with it.Very poor quality so i returned it for a refund. Not recommended.

Very expensive piece of cheap plastic,, bought it based on the good reviews it has,, i don’t understand why, unless they are fake, it’s cheap rubbish that you would expect to find in your local £1 shop... it’s not worth a penny more. Purchase something else and save your money.

it’s a good little tool, perhaps a little hard to read for older eyes but it’s also a good size for getting into small corners when fitting skirting. if you want an accurate definitive number maybe get a digital one but if you want a quick angle this is great. i also like that it gives you the angle you need on your chop saw.i used it for 3 years, doing lots of 2nd fix carpentry and it found a regular place in the tool belt. it’s not too big either. eventually the scale started getting worn and harder to read and yesterday it stopped working and i opened it up and the alignment tabs on the inside had broken off.i have ordered the aluminium version although that one is £50. i think £25 for 3 years of solid work isn’t too bad value really

This little device makes measuring and then cutting mitres a piece of cake, it is one of the best tools I've bought and I highly recommend it, it is very solidly built and easy to ride.My only gripe... it is pretty expensive for a bit of plastic, yes it is a very solid bit of plastic and very well made, but it is still a bit of plastic

IF YOU NEED TO CUT MITRES OR JUST SINGLE ANGLE CUTS, THIS SI SO ACCURATE AND WILL SAVE SO MUCH TIME AND HASSLE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE TOOLS IN THE BOX.
