Strongsville, OH – Northeast Ohio tool manufacturer, Woodpeckers, recently announced its new Drill Press Protractor. The protractor uses a vernier scale to simplify setting fractional degree angles. You have your choice of working in degrees and minutes or quarter-degree increments…the vernier is engraved on both sides. Setting an angle on your drill press is straightforward. Set the angle you want on the protractor, mount it in the chuck of your drill press, bring the quill down to the table and adjust the table to line up with the base of the protractor.
Despite the name, the Drill Press Protractor is just as handy for setting angles on many other shop items, like your table saw miter gauge, bevel gauges and band saws. It also has a machined vee in the base to assist in aligning round stock directly under your drill chuck.
Like most Woodpeckers products, the Drill Press Protractor consists of stainless steel and anodized aluminum components joined with stainless fasteners. It’s designed to stay looking great in your shop through years of precision angled adjustments.
Woodpeckers has focused on the needs of hobbyist woodworkers since 1988 and began manufacturing the majority of their offerings in 1993. The company makes precision layout tools, router tables and lifts, innovative clamping tools, carbide router bits and a wide variety of helpful shop products. Their facility houses a vast array of computer-controlled mills and lathes and employs over 100 skilled American workers.
