... go figure, eh?

My step-father would be laughing himself silly watching that. He'd make
a perfect fit and never used caulk.

Of course he didn't, the painter who followed him up did.

LOL ... but I really do like that Miterfast Angle Transfer Device:

Be worth having just on general principles ...

I use a Bosch digital protractor and divide by2. The gauges on my
mitre saws are calibrated as best as I know, and the consistent
results seem to bear that out....BUT, that Festool tool, dammit, seems
a whole lot easier and idiot proof and my division skills get all head-
achy when it comes to degrees, minutes, and seconds.

For $140...

I still think we
should metricate(?) angular measurements..like a full circle is 1000
degrees. G

Metrification already been done, but it's not 1000 divisions per circle,
rather 2*Pi. Now that'll make you head hurt when cutting crown molding (makes
it easy for engineers). ;-)
