These devices are best used for relative, not absolute measurement. For
absolute measurement I have a little deal I made out of plexiglass strip that I
transfer angles from the drawing with or use to transfer angles to paper and
then measure with my drafting tools. More accurate. For mitering I find a General
Tools protractor to be just fine although my failing vision makes it tough to
read.
