I recently bought digital angle guage that magnetically attaches to my

is whether it actually measures the angle in relationship to the
tablesaw or true level.

That depends, if you zero it on your table then put it on the blade its
relative to the table.

If not its just true to level.



Assuming it was zeroed to true level to begin with, not likely.

Actually I have one that is similar.
I don't use it much, but it was dead on, Checked with a level, and it is
very good. Mine is the tiltbox ii, not as good resolution as the wixey..
but well made, and batteries have lasted for about 2 years.

I have used it with a steel stud (pretty straight) for grading single
handedly. played with it in the shop, and it's good, but I don't find it
that useful for WW needs in the shop.



I have had one too for years, it is the only way I set my bevel angle on
my TS. But these measuring devises do not indicate level, rather they
indicate the degree of tilt from where it was last zeroed.

My batteries started lasting much longer after realizing that the tight
fitting case pressed the" on button" if I was not careful sliding it
back inside the case.
