Customer Rating: Summary: Thought they fixed that. Comment: Having worked in and around machine shops all my life, the name Starrett became synonymous with quality. Recently, however, I purchased a Starrett Miter Saw Protractor model 505A-7 and was shocked to find that Starrett is no long is concerned about accuracy. The instrument I purchased was clearly off my at least one half degree while the package label screams "laser engraved accuracy". My research indicates Starrett knows of this issue and has chosen to ignore it; seems wood workers do not "require accuracy" according to Starrett.
This could have been a really great new product. It is novel and well made but I would advise Starrett to track down the person in their organization that developed it and "fire" him. Everything a company produces reflects that company's image and this one says Starrett has developed a new business strategy, "caveat emptor ".
Customer Rating: Summary: Starrett ProSite Protractor 505A-7 Comment: This tool eliminates all trial-and-error from cutting crown molding, cabinet making, and other critical carpentry jobs. It is as precise and accurate as my radial arm saw and my chop saw, and it requires no batteries, it fits in my back pocket and is as dependable as my square. Great tool! Customer Rating: Summary: Miters made super-simple Comment: This product makes an novice look like a pro! It makes mitering easy as reading a scale and transferring that number to the miter saw.........perfect each and every time. Wishin' I had this yards of stock ago. Customer Rating: Summary: A tool that saved me a lot of time Comment: I recently installed crown mouldings to the cabinets of my kitchen, this tool saved me a lot time, I measured the angles, went to my miter saw, set the miter to the angle provided by the tool, and made a perfect miter joint. Customer Rating: Summary: Starrett ProSite Protractor Comment: I haven't use the item as of yet, but I did test it and than compared the measurements to my Compound saw and found the saw was off.
I had tried to cut molding before and they would never fit (because of the saw) and so I had to hire a professional, but now with this product I look forward to cutting angles on wood anytime!
I'm so glad this product is here and I look forward to making my projects sucessful!!
