Carpentry Protractor

Measuring tools are very important to carpenters. One of the most useful tools is called a carpentry protractor. Protractors are used for measuring angles and are frequently used in the carpentry and woodworking world. One example of a protractor is the Starrett ProSite 505A-7 model. This tool can be yours for under $100 and is very useful for many projects. It is a seven inch miter saw protractor that features two scales -- one for miter cut and one for single cut.


A miter saw is a saw that makes a fast and accurate crosscut. This protractor lets you transfer your work angle to your miter saw with zero calculations in three easy steps. Although this item is seven inches it is also available in twelve inch size. It features aluminum alloy and a Teflon O-ring for the ultimate in smooth operation. With this tool you will never have to worry about making errors when miter cutting. There are no difficult math problems to work out as this tool does the work for you. It is a must-have for every miter saw owner.

If all you need to do is mark angles for a project, you can get a basic protractor for under $10. These low priced tools are often used by students learning advanced math. These cheap protractors can come in handy especially if you've got basic angles to calculate that do not involve using your miter saw. For carpenters who need a work grade protractor but don't want to pay an arm and a leg there are moderately priced ones that cost around $40. The protractor you should choose depends upon what your budget are and what your needs are.

The carpentry protractor is not the only measuring tool you'll need. A measuring tape is important for making straight measurements, while a level ensures all your cuts and lines are straight. There are the old-fashioned levels that use liquid filled tubes to show alignment, then there are new high tech levels that give you a fast digital reading. Some carpenters enjoy working with the latest high tech gadgets, while others prefer a more old fashioned approach. Either way, you can find every imaginable carpentry tool for sale at home improvement superstores like Lowe's and Home Depot.
