Angle Measuring Instruments

A digital angle meter is an electronic inclinometer that measures the inclination angle of a surface relative to horizontal or to a set reference surface and shows it on its display in degrees. It is used to set the blade angle on a table saw, to measure the slope of pipes, profiles and cable trays, and to bring surfaces to level or to a desired angle in panel and machine installation. This category includes the Unit LM320A and LM320B digital angle meters; both offer ±0.2° accuracy, relative and absolute measurement, auto power off and a 3.7 V 300 mAh lithium battery, with magnets on two or four faces depending on the model. Choose accuracy, the number of magnetic faces and battery life according to the part you will attach the device to and the work you will do. Absolute measurement gives the angle relative to horizontal; in relative measurement, the surface where the device was zeroed is the reference and the angle of the other surface relative to it is read. It should not be confused with digital squares and protractors that measure the angle between their two arms; these devices measure the inclination of the single surface they are placed on.
