This is a new tool made by "iGaging" which appears to be a Chinese mass-producer, but was worth a shot at $25. I used the incra protractor to scribe lines at 90, 60, 45, and 22.5, then checked this new tool to those lines and it is spot on. I had looked far and wide for a tool that accurately and simply adjusts to mark any angle. The only drawback is I would prefer the protractor to be the registering edge and the straight edge to be flush, but good enough for $25. I love the very clear pointer and easy to read dial. No guessing where you set this thing.
Along with setting the sliding bevel, I will use this to mark inlays, clock wheels, and other things with various non-standard angles.
