Editorial Review:
About the Bosch DWM40LK Miterfinder Digital Protractor Kit The Miterfinder digital protractor is much more than the name implies. This amazingly versatile product provides four tools in one. It's an angle finder, a compound cut calculator, a protractor, and a level in one convenient package.
Angle finder: The angle finder function determines the exact angles of a job site or workpiece, eliminating all the guesswork.
Compound cut calculator: The compound cut calculator automatically determines the exact miter and bevel settings necessary to make each crown molding cut fit precisely.
Protractor: The protractor precisely positions the workpiece or the intended cut line at the angle you require.
Level: The built-in vertical and horizontal spirit levels are accurate to 0, +/- 0.05 degrees.
In addition to these helpful functions, the DWM40LK lets you freeze measurements, and it has a digital readout that displays readings on the front and the back, so it's easy to use in any position. Ruggedly constructed and built to last, this digital protractor will become your go-to accessory for every project around the workshop or at the job site. This kit includes a hard, thermoformed foam carrying case and a leg extension.
Applications Use the DWM40LK to calculate the exact miter and bevel angles for crown molding cuts, measure trim cuts for remodeling, check and transfer angles, accurately install cabinets and counters, measure roof angles, fit up windows or doors, align wood forms for concrete pouring, fit carpeting and parquet or tile floors, align and check banisters and rails, and much, much more.

Nice precision tool:
Very well made and convenient to use. It's just what I'd expect from Bosch. Bought it to do crown moulding, but it can also be used to set up saws and anything else that requires precise angle measurements.
PRICELESS!:
If you work with angles and you don't have this tool, you are losing time and money. Plain and simple. Just buy the freaking thing!
Bosch Digital Protractor:
I bought this tool because of a remodel job on my house. I am not disappointed. I have been using use it to transfer angles from roof peaks onto my miter saw. I have not used the crown-molding option yet. I wish this tool could automatically divide an angle when measuring an angle. Dividing by two is not a big deal but it would speed things up a bit. This is one well-made tool. A lot heavier duty than I expected. The more I use it the more I appreciate it.
Proof is in the picture:
I have been looking for a tool like this for a while and when I saw it I had to have it. The first thing I did was to prove that my dining room is not square. Crown molding is a challenge when everything is square; when it is not it gets expensive to get it right. It will come in very handy for me and for some of my neighbors when I show it off.
