Magnetic base for attachment: This digital protractor attaches securely to the gauge with a magnetic base, providing stability and accuracy when measuring angles on different workpieces. Switchable between relative and absolute measurements: Easily toggle between relative and absolute modes to capture angle values according to your specific workflow and reference needs. Easy conversion between angle and tilt measurements: The device supports conversion between angle and tilt readings, making it suitable for a wide range of tasks from woodworking to engineering. Practical DatLock function: The DatLock feature lets you lock the measured angle value for convenient, fluctuation readings during measurement. Key benefits and practical use Improves measurement reliability: The magnetic base and stable readings reduce drift and improve repeatability on varied surfaces. Enhances versatility: Relative/absolute modes and angletilt conversion cover common measurement scenarios across carpentry, machining, and alignment tasks. Facilitates accurate setup and verification: Locking measurements with DatLock helps during setup, inspection, or when you need to record a value without keeping the gauge in view. Typical use scenarios Woodworking alignment: Attach to a fence or jig on a table saw or router table to verify and set precise angles during cut setup. Machine tool setup: Use the relative/absolute modes to establish reference angles and verify tool tilt or workpiece orientation during milling or drilling. Assembly and inspection: Lock the measured angle with DatLock to document orientations and ensure consistent tolerances across multiple parts.
