Great Tool! Sep 23, 2008 By David Getts
The Starrett CP505A-12 ProSite Protractor is a great step-up over the original. The improved version includes the angle/miter-cut reader that made the first one so popular, along with some added features. What's new is a table on the back that gives the user an easy reference for setting compound miter angles for any wall configuration. On a recently completed crown moulding job with various angled walls, the compound miter table did all of the math; that feature alone makes it worth the price. In addition there is a protractor and roof pitch scale on the back. I would highly recommend this protractor to anyone who regularly deals with angles in their work.

Better Than its Predecessor Aug 02, 2009 By Mike
I owned the previous Starrett version of the protractor, and while an excellent product, it was not dead accurate. The angular marks on the dial were engraved on a decal which, unfortunately, was not applied with precision. The angular marks on this tool, however, are applied by laser and are dead nuts on. This tool will save you time, material (i.e., money) and , most importantly, aggravation. It is a very cool tool with roof pitch info and a crown molding table. All index marks on this tool are applied with a laser. The reason I give it a 4 of 5 is, unlike its predecessor, it does not come with a leather carrying case (must buy it as an accessory). If I could give it 4 1/2 stars, I would. Otherwise this tool is a thing of beauty.

Must have layout tool Jan 07, 2009 By M. Ross "Bacchuskitty"
This is an excellent tool that has many features. It is heavy and well-made, and the movement of the legs is smooth but retains the angle well. It is nice that the dial face and outer scale are etched- not a plastic decal. The scale is spot-on and accurate. This is an essential layout tool for contractors and those homeowners who have competent carpentry skills.

Great protractor Mar 02, 2009 By Mark D. Schnittman "mschnit"
I purchased this, along with the 7" model, to install Wainscot and crown in a bedroom that we are renovating. This is a must-have tool to compliment your power miter saw. This version (ProSite model) is all aluminum construction, with a laser engraved scale, and is far superior to the lesser quality versions. Highly recommended.

Laser engraved, or same old decals? Feb 04, 2010 By M. Killam "thisismatt"
I recently purchased and just received the Starrett CP505A-12 protractor. I heard poor reviews (online and from coworkers) about the less expensive models (505A-12 & 505A-7) regarding accuracy (mainly that they weren't accurate due to the gauge decals being out of alignment from the factory). I spent extra for the CP version because it has good reviews and is claimed to be laser etched/engraved. Looking at the gauges it appears that, although maybe engraved, they're still simply decals stuck onto the aluminum body, unless the aluminum underneath the decal is engraved, but I'm not going to peel back the decal and ruin the $85 tool just to find out. I guess my point is that I feel a little disappointed after paying a premium and then finding that it appears the metal is not engraved, just the decal, which could peel or become misaligned. Are my concerns warranted? I probably wouldn't have bought it if only the decals were etched and not the body itself. Otherwise, it appears to be well built and the graduations do line up.
