Average Rating: Rating: - Quickly becoming indespensible Initially when I looked at this tool, I thought that it was a bit pricey for a digital protractor. Now I find myself using this tool for framing, trim work, and saw alignment. It has been invaluable in checking miter gauges for accuracy, you could use a protractor or speed square, but this is more accurate than a speed square and much quicker than either, especially if you need to make adjustments. This tool impressed me when I was checking alignment on my sliding compound miter saw. I wanted to verify its accuracy out of the box so I dialed into 90 / 0 degrees, the BOSCH protractor read 90.3, flipped it over and measured the other side of the blade and it read 89.7. Definitley much quicker than the conventional way, and you can easily use this with the table saw. Typically over time ( about 5 months now ) this tool reads between 0.0 and 0.1 accuracy, and like most scales you can check its accuracy and know what your margin of accuracy is. The back spring angle feature is very handy for crown molding, and for checking corners the back edge is rounded so as not to foil your reading in an inside corner measurement. This tool does so much more than I have mentioned, these are just tasks that I have used repeatedly and successfully. A carrying case would be nice, as this unit is nicely machined, it has a level built in which is handy and for quick checks, it saves holding two tools. So far, I am very satisfied with this tool. Rating: - Carpenters, Welcome to the 21st Century! I purchased the Bosch DWM40L Digital Protractor/Angle Finder to install baseboard, shoemolding, and crownmolding in an older home. Naturally, there wasn't a square corner in the entire project. The Bosch tool made exact measurements for calculating miter angles for each piece of trim. You take its measurements and calculations and then transfer them to your compound miter saw. Nothing could be easier. It took hand fitting and guess work out of the job. This a fabulous invention and it's miles ahead of the older, but timeless tools such as a square, bevel, and protractor. It also doubles as a carpenter's level. This Bosch tool is also extremely well built and cosmetically pleasing--its heft feels good in your hands. My toolbox is now in the 21st Century--what would my Grandfather think? He'd probably say that I have it too easy now that I own the Bosch DWM40L Digital Protractor/Angle Finder. Sorry Grandpa. Rating: - I'm glad I did! I had my doubts when I ordered this item - but I'm glad I did. We hang a lot of trim - especially crown. It's a great miter saw assistant. It's bigger and heavier than I thought it would be. However, I love it's accuracy and simplicity. You don't need an engineering degree to use it. I'm going to order the extension leg. You'll need it if you measure any angles with legs shorter than 16". Potential improvements on the next version: 1) Ability to store the crown spring angle in order to avoid redundant inputs. 2) A button to input a 90.0 degree (MT/BV) angle versus manually opening the angle finder to 90.0 degrees in order to calculate perfect outside crown corners for cabinetry. 3) A button to divide measured corner angles by two to avoid calculating baseboard and chair rail miters. Also, a smaller, lighter version of the same thing would be nice.
