🔍 Starrett AM 2 Magnetic Angle Meter - Accurate Measuring for Precise Angle Determination Review

I bought it because Starret is on it. I've had cheaper ones and it might be a rebranded version of the same junk. However, according to Starret, a certain quality control is to be hoped for. It is compatible with Wixey Digital, without batteries. The mechanism rotates very smoothly without freezing and jamming. For the price paid I can't complain

I bought this tool to replace a similar device but blocked by another manufacturer. I've started looking at digital goniometers but after reading the reviews they all seem to point to an accuracy issue. This tool was easy to read and had the accuracy I was looking for. Starrett has long been known for its precision and quality tools. I am not disappointed with this tool. He does everything I need.

I use this angle tool every day at work. I'm a shop welder and I use this tool for many jobs. It's Starrett and he's doing a great job. The only thing that bothers me is that the magnet is not as strong as I would like and the tool falls off my work if I move a little. I will buy some neodymium magnets and drill some holes in them, that should fix the problem. I only wish Starrett had taken such precautions in the manufacturing process of this instrument. In general it does what I need.

Bought several digital goniometers, they were all 2-4 times more expensive than this analog gauge. IMHO none of the devices worked properly, there was always a problem using digital devices to get a simple angle reading on my bandsaw and table saw. I went the old-fashioned route and bought a basic analog device with no buttons, LED screens, or batteries. This sensor is very easy to use, place the device on my saw blade or band saw table and read the angle, it couldn't be easier. If it goes down

This product would be worth 5* if it had a magnet that actually held the weight of the item. Also, the magnet is stuck and doesn't match the surfaces. So when you attach it to a surface, it starts to tilt about 2 degrees. Basically a useless product. I'm sure the unit I received was defective in the way the magnet was stuck in place and I was able to replace it, but that wouldn't fix the problem of the magnet not being strong enough, to keep it in place. So I just send it back and keep looking…
