No miter saw is complete without this patented and multiple award winning invention. This is the original and very popular 12-inch model of the Starrett ProSite Miter Saw Protractor. It is now also available in the conveniently smaller-sized 7-inch model, the 505A-7.
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!

The problem (generally) isn't the home owner or miter saw's fault. The fact is, 95% of all outside or inside corners in our homes are not 90 degrees (or... more info
Gotta have one.
I had one of these before but couldn't find it so I bought another. It really comes in handy when your doing crown molding. It saves you from going up and down the ladder a hundred times making trial cuts or wasting a piece of material because the walls aren't built at the angles they're supposed to be. It helps you look like you know what you're doing.
Scale is way off
If you are looking for accuracy, look elsewhere. This scale is off by 1-2° which is unacceptable for anything but rough framing perhaps.
