Angle Finders

Angle finders are essential for precision tasks, from carpentry to metalwork. These tools ensure accurate measurements, whether using traditional or digital models.

On site, finding the exact angle is non-negotiable, whether you're cutting rafters or setting out for a staircase. A reliable angle finder tool, particularly a digital angle gauge, can save time and reduce errors. You'll often see these in a chippy's toolkit, ensuring every cut fits perfectly. With options ranging from simple angle rulers to advanced digital angle measurers, there's a tool fit for every job. Choose the right one, and you'll have a mate for life on site, making complex measurements straightforward.

What Jobs Are Angle Finders Best At?

• Setting precise angles for roof rafters during timber framing-essential for ensuring a snug fit.
• Measuring and transferring angles when installing custom cabinetry or bespoke joinery.
• Checking angles on steel beams or metalwork to ensure structural alignment and integrity.
• Aligning tiles or flooring to a specific angle, achieving seamless and professional results.
• Determining the exact mitre cut for skirting boards or crown moulding, avoiding gaps and overlaps.

Choosing the Right Angle Finder

Here's the deal for picking the right angle finder: match it to the job, not the other way around.

1. Digital vs Analogue

If you need quick readings with high accuracy, go digital. Analogue models are robust and great for straightforward tasks but lack the precision of digital gauges.

2. Size and Portability

For on-site work, a compact digital angle measurer fits easily in your toolbelt. Larger angle rulers are better for bench work or where space isn't an issue.

3. Accuracy and Range

Precision is key. If you're doing detailed work, choose a model with a high degree of accuracy and a wide measuring range.
