Description of Starrett 505A-12 ProSite 12-Inch Dial Protractor

The Starrett ProSite Miter Saw Protractor takes error-prone calculations out of the process of miter cuts and other angle cuts. Simply set your saw to the angle that you read on the tool. There are absolutely no calculations. Upside down or backwards, the reading is always correct. These easy-to-use tools have two scales. The red scale and red "Miter Cut" arrow provide the exact miter saw setting for a perfect miter joint, while the black scale and black "Single Cut" arrow provide the exact miter saw setting for fitting a single workpiece to any angle.

The ProSite Miter Saw Protractors save time and reduce waste. They are ideal for carpenters, plumbers, and all building trades which require the measuring and transferring of angles. They are also invaluable for home use and do-it-yourselfers. They are the perfect and essential companion for every miter saw user. Buy both models and cover all your angles!

An easy-to-read dial makes the ProSite® protractor simple to work with. View larger.

Easy to Use for Error-Free Measurements
Measuring accurate angles and making accurate cuts saves you time, reduces the amount of material that you waste, and helps you get jobs done quickly and efficiently. That's where precision tools like the ProSite Miter Saw Protractor come in.

Featuring a patented, easy-to-use design, this tool offers two scales for quick reference. The scales have been laser engraved for exceptional accuracy with each measurement. The miter cut arrow shows the required angle for crafting a precise miter joint, while the single cut arrow provides you with the angle needed to fit a single work piece to an existing angle. The protractor gives you correct measurements every time, even when you're viewing your work piece backwards or upside down.

As durable as it is convenient, this protractor features machined aluminum legs and an adjustable friction pivot. Starrett also makes the smaller 505A-7, a convenient seven-inch protractor featuring the same easy-to-read dial and dependable construction, and the CP505A-12, a combination protractor that features a conversion table for use with compound miter saws plus a reference guide for working with common roof pitches.
