Thought they fixed that.
Having worked in and around machine shops all my life, the name Starrett became synonymous with quality. Recently, however, I purchased a Starrett Miter Saw Protractor model 505A-7 and was shocked to find that Starrett is no long is concerned about accuracy. The instrument I purchased was clearly off my at least one half degree while the package label screams "laser engraved accuracy". My research indicates Starrett knows of this issue and has chosen to ignore it; seems wood workers do not "require accuracy" according to Starrett.
This could have been a really great new product. It is novel and well made but I would advise Starrett to track down the person in their organization that developed it and "fire" him. Everything a company produces reflects that company's image and this one says Starrett has developed a new business strategy, "caveat emptor ".
