Product Description
The CMT DAF-001 Digital Angle Finder is a multi-functional measuring tool engineered for precision angle measurement across a wide range of woodworking and general layout tasks. With a full 0-360 deg. measuring range, 0.05 deg. resolution, and +/-0.15 deg. accuracy, this digital angle gauge delivers reliable, repeatable readings for miter saw setup, table saw calibration, bevel adjustment, and level measurement. The large LCD display makes readings easy to confirm at a glance, while the pivoting measuring arm and lock function streamline workflow on the job site or in the shop.
Key Features
- 0-360 deg. measuring range - covers every possible angle orientation, so you can set miters, bevels, and compound cuts without switching tools or doing manual calculations.
- 0.05 deg. resolution with +/-0.15 deg. accuracy - fine-grained readouts mean your saw setups and layout marks are consistently precise, reducing material waste from miscut joints.
- LCD display - delivers a clear, easy-to-read digital readout even in workshop conditions, eliminating the guesswork of analog scales or vernier markings.
- Dual leveling vials - allow accurate horizontal and vertical measurements in a single tool, replacing the need to carry a separate spirit level for surface and plumb checks.
- Lock function - freezes the last recorded angle so you can transfer the measurement to your saw or workpiece without losing the reading when you move the tool.
- Pivoting measuring arm - conforms to irregular surfaces and inside corners, making it practical for both flat layout work and angled surfaces like roof pitch or stair stringers.
- Auto shut-off - automatically powers down after an idle period, extending CR2032-3V lithium battery life between replacements.
- ANSI/US 4200A-2023 compliance - meets the current industry accuracy standard, giving you confidence that the tool performs within verified tolerance limits.
Why This Product
- A single tool that spans 0 to 360 deg. of measurement eliminates the need to calculate supplementary or complementary angles - read the exact value you need and set your saw directly.
- The combination of a digital angle finder and dual spirit vials in one compact 10-1/2 x 2 x 1 in. body reduces the number of instruments on the bench and keeps setup time short.
- With +/-0.15 deg. accuracy and ANSI/US 4200A-2023 certification, this tool meets a documented precision standard - not just a manufacturer claim - making it suitable for professional woodworking applications where tight tolerances matter.
- The lock function and auto shut-off together protect both your measurement and your battery, so the tool is ready when you return to it and the angle you captured is still displayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CMT DAF-001 come with a battery included?
No. The tool requires a CR2032-3V lithium battery, which is not included. This is a common coin-cell battery widely available at hardware and electronics retailers.
What accuracy standard does the DAF-001 meet?
The DAF-001 is compliant with ANSI/US 4200A-2023, the current industry standard for digital angle measuring tools. It delivers +/-0.15 deg. accuracy with 0.05 deg. resolution across the full 0-360 deg. range.
Can I use this tool to check both horizontal and vertical levels, not just angles?
Yes. The DAF-001 includes two leveling vials, one for horizontal measurement and one for vertical measurement, so it functions as both a digital protractor and a spirit level in a single instrument.
How do I avoid losing my angle reading when I move the tool from the workpiece to the saw?
The lock function is designed for exactly this situation - it freezes the displayed angle so the reading remains visible on the LCD while you transfer the measurement to your miter saw, table saw, or other equipment.
