Thank you

[@crookedriverranchman]

Great video. We are redoing all the trim in our home. I saw another video of this tool and thought I have got to get this. I’m tired of fudging and with what wood cost now this is going to be a game changer. Thanks for the great explanation

[@detroitdiy]

There is another miter protractor I have become pretty confident in using and has become my choice. Accuracy is spot on. Go to this website to check it out. www.sawset.ca/
Thanks for watching.

It would be nice if when you are discussing a particular angle that you zoom into the dial so we could confirm what you are saying. I can see the numbers on your gauge when you push it into a corner.

[@detroitdiy]

Thanks for your input.

[@smilejesuslovesyou8108]

So I bought some flooring and the matching quarter round but it’s not regular quarter round it has one flat side in back in middle of that makes sense? How do I cut them correctly I have tried basic 45 and 45 and they do not come close to matching up at all

[@detroitdiy]

I am not quite understanding what your quarter round is, however I think it is wider than it is tall. Mark the bottom side with a line using a pencil for reference when cutting. Make sure that line is facing down in your saw. I think that will take care of your issues.

[@camptaji901]

So what why do you adjust the saw?

[@pmelchman]

Great video and informative but don’t look at the camera screen look at the lens

[@rouxso5124]

i am still not completly understanding how to read the which numbers i need to use ??

[@detroitdiy]

One side of the gauge shows the miter angle or half of the full angle. The other side shows the full angle. For 2 cuts like a corner on base board moulding you would set your saw to the miter angle shown. For a single cut you would use the full angle. I will gladly make a video on how to use it. However it would be a few weeks before it would get posted.

@@detroitdiy I’d like to see your video. Please post!!

[@Fresh-tw7ev]

They don’t sell these at the big box stores.

[@detroitdiy]

No they don't need to order online. Thanks for watching.

[@JT_70]

The Starrett is now about $35.

[@detroitdiy]

Inflation is crazy!

[@northwestfive444]

Is it just me or does he remind anyone of Sylvester Stallone?

[@detroitdiy]

Never heard that before. Thanks for watching.

[@mohammadnazari4022]

Because 50 degrees plus 35 degrees make 85 degrees not 90

[@meljenkins1016]

I bought the Saker Miter Saw Protractor which is made of aluminum and far better than this plastic Starrett Miter Saw Protractor.

[@charlespatton5722]

Starrett also makes an aluminum version as well!!

[@mick1gallagher]

Youre not telling how long the scale lasts on this tool
