We are remodeling an old home that my father left me when he died. We are able now to get the correct angle to cut since this house is not perfectly square, the first time without having to keep cutting to get them to fit. We were having a hard time getting the right angles cut for this job, so nwhen I seen this on television I knew this was something we needed. I bought this item for my husband for Christmas. This house is maybe 75 years or older. I would tell anyone that this is a wonderful product to have for doing moldings or any job. Termites have already started eating on it so you see we have a job ahead of us.
This tool makes finding the right angle to cut a snap. It cuts working time in half and reduces the mistakes I used to make in cutting angles.
Denali 18-Inch Angle Protractor makes setting up your tools a lot easier. I'm glad I bought it. It seems to be very accurate and repeatable. Everything that I have checked with it has been either exactly right or within.01 degrees.
I set the table saw with a digital angle guage to 54.0 degrees and cut the sides. I had suspected earlier that the accuracy was much better than 1 degree, but this confirmed it to me. I don't know if the one I got is exceptionally good, but it performs really well. I was a little nervous when I purchased this item as accuracy is only listed as 1 degree. I am confident in it to.1 degrees.
I just finished making a regular pentagon shaped light fixture, and was delighted with the tool. When I put it together it seemed to fit very close to perfectly. After sanding, I checked the exterior angles with the Denali to see how accurate it was. To my complete surprise, 3 of the angles measured 108.0, and the other 2 were 107.7 and 108.3, the sum total being exactly correct at 540 degrees.
There is a smaller version that would be helpful in certain situations. It works well. It did what I needed it to. Overall I recommend this for jobs with odd angles. The only problem is that it is to big for certain jobs.
