A protractor (or degree meter) is a tool for measuring angles or for entering an angle.
It consists of a circular or semi-circular disc with angular divisions. Common diameters are 8 to 15 cm and graduations of 1° or 0.5°, in surveying also 0.5 Gon (new degree). Depending on the diameter of the scale, the accuracy is about 0.1 to 0.5°.
Mitre gauges are the specialists you need when it comes to reading mitre angles: typical applications are skirting boards or decorative mouldings on ceilings.
The company Starrett, for example, offers such practical mitre gauges in its ProSite Protractor series.
