difficulty with this methodology is accurately reading the small graduations. Fractional degrees are limited by the size of the protractor arc. If the arc is too small, the angles. The
graduations are nothing mole than generalities, and impossible
to read. If the arc is latge enough to be of significance, the tool becomes cost prohibitive. The AM-1 Angle Master is not
limited by these considerations because it is a device that relies upon trigonometry for its "soul". The AM-1 allows you to set angles inftvehundredths of a
deyee increments. Simply use a ruler (ftgure 1)'beam compass or trammel (fi.gure 2) and set the two index pins to a measurement from the supplied guide. No measurement is finer than1116", or 1-mm, whichever measuring system
you prefer! Mathematically, the accuracy of this concept allows for angles with a maximum linear error of .0008" over six inches (.02-mm) and so easy to achieve that you now have
the ability to do things you could not do before! This is one of the tool, your capabilities have expanded.
