An angle finder is a tool that has one purpose, but a couple different styles of operation. Deciding which one you need to utilize will require some basic knowledge of the tools function and what job you are intending to do with it. Firstly, there is an angle finder tool that operates in a scissor-like fashion, with a hinge holding two straight edge rulers together at the end. The hinge area has a number of different marks for measuring angles anywhere between zero degrees and one hundred and eight degrees. The rulers may be manipulated to form any angle and then a mark may be placed upon the surface of the material to be cut or altered by some action of carpentry. The next type of tool is the protractor style. This tool often has a solid, magnetic, right angle base and a circular gauge on top for finding different angles. This tool works by being placed in any right angle joint, like the foot of a wall, and adjusting the angle gauge to whatever angle may be necessary to measure. Since the majority of carpenters are highly concerned with making sure all their joints are "plumb, level, and square", the protractor style is better designed to check right angles and construct things out of right angles. Whereas the scissor style is better suited to joining different materials at any angle you may need. An old expression carpenters are often familiar with is "measure twice, cut once." The sure carpenter will be certain to follow these words and maybe even measure a few extra times.
