## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this tool work so that you can get an angle and then it will let you know the degree on saw?**
A: that's what it is designed to do, so yes if apply it to the angle you want to cut you just have to make the cut at that angle

**Q: Will this lay flat on a table, even with the wing nut?**
A: The square head will lay flat on a table surface, the square head measure read plate is 1.22mm or 3/64'' thick thus leaving the measure indicating arm that much above the surface.Hope this answers the question and is helpful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by I***R on 9 November 2022*

I've had the square version of this (#17) for about 10 years, using it off and on as a woodworking hobbyist. Having been very pleased with it, I decided to buy a backup just in case. Bought this rounded one (#18), and am pleased. Appears to be the same good quality as my other one, and I figure I'm good for another many years. One critique ... The finish on my old one is not as glossy as this one, and I don't think it's from use. But the difference can be felt in setting the gauge, where the slightly rougher finish helps the gauge keep setting without potentially slipping.
