CPDDET Posted April 3 Share #1 Posted April 3 I know I saw a link for a protractor app somewhere on this site but I'll be darned if I can find it again. There are several apps available but I want to check out the one that was recommended. Anyone know what I'm refering to?

CPDDET Posted June 14 Author Share #3 Posted June 14 I'm experimenting with 2 apps. There is a learning curve. 1. Smart Protractor by Smart Tools Co. 2. Protractor by Keuwlsoft Both are for android and available at the app store. mtaylor 1 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul ron Posted June 15 Share #4 Posted June 15 why would you use a protractor app for? mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDDET Posted June 15 Author Share #5 Posted June 15 To measure accurate angles for cutting material. Sometimes on a model, sometimes on a drawing. Just another tool to use when other measureing tools aren't applicable. mtaylor 1 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul ron Posted June 15 Share #6 Posted June 15 so its an angle finder app? i cant see using a phone or tablet to setup an angle for cutting. those clear plastic protractors seem good enough for most work. but if you need better resolution... the digitals are very good. https://sciencytools.com/the-7-best-digital-protractor-for-your-toolbox/ mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPDDET Posted June 15 Author Share #7 Posted June 15 I've found that having multiple was of accomplishing a task is best for me. Take saws or clamps for example. One size dosent fit all. Especially when working in small, tight areas. But to each their own.😀 mtaylor and paul ron 2 Quote Current build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
