I have that same digital angle gauge. I use mine to set my scrollsaw table to to small degreees for inlay work. I can increase or decrease the angle accurately and not rely on the scrollsaw asngle gauge.

I also use it on my drill press to set angles for drilling holes for the inlay.

The gauge can show increments of 0.1 degrees. I can set my scrollsaw table for a certain amount of tilt, return to 0 drgrees, and then return to the angle needed for inlay work.

Very handy.

As a matter of fact, yes Merle, you could check that, but I would strongly advise against it.Chances are, if your like me,you will just be confirming something that people have been saying about you for a long time.sighhh
