Hello,
I'm looking at getting a good protractor or possbily two.
I want something to use to set blades on the table saw and miter saw as well as one to use to measure in/out side corners for trim.

I'm leaning towards:

- a Starrett 12", 5 in 1 for about $84.00
or
- a Starrett 12" Prosite (Hartville has one for $42.00 right now) and an 8" digital for about $42.00. (it looks like a Wixey)

I'm open to any and all suggestions in an under $100.00 price range.

I have the 8" Wixey, and love it. Just today, I used it to determine the angles on the sides of a Kregg A-2 jig. The SR 2032 batteries are often available at Dollar Tree in a pack of three for a buck. Check Rockler's clearance section, as lately they have been having some deals on Wixey products.
