Hello Bruce,

It’s a tool for measuring angles. Here’s an example: https://amzn.to/2VTCh68

In reply to Paul. They certainly don’t make them like that now.

In reply to Dale Lougee. Only Starrett. World class and accurate throughout their lifetime. Have never failed me.

As a retired employee of the Starrett Company, I was very pleased to see your review of their squares.

In reply to steve horn. I looked at 14 " band saws and bought the HF one and added the riser and a quality blade for around 350 total. The jet uses the same frame (made in Taiwan) that costs 900. the only difference I could find was the color and maybe the wheel pads. It's worth a look.

Excellent choice of tools. When it comes to “Expensive”, I’m reminded of the old Union 76 commercial” You can pay me now, or you can pay me later”. In other words, you can buy a quality tool once and, if you take care of them, they will far outlast any cheap junk you “Saved Money On” that never is as accurate and you have to keep replacing. For example, I still have my father’s Lufkin Rule Co. Rules; 12″ rule No. C-2116-R and his 18″ Lufkin Square No. 2516R. Both in 32nd’s & 64th’s on one side, and 50th’s & 100th’s of an inch on the other. As a machinist, he bought them in 1955. Both are still just as accurate as the day he bought them.

The newly tweaked Bosch Colt is amazing. At 1 1/2 to 13/4 ho it packs quite a punch. Also Im not into any distinct product line so my opinion is based on the tool.

Above all are the Starrett squares. These are the tools that are in my hands during any woodworking procedure. Accuracy begins with the square and Starrett continues to be the gold standard. See their plant tour on YouTube to convince yourself.
