Product Description
The CMT DAG-001 Digital Angle Gauge is a compact, waterproof digital protractor built for precision angle measurement in woodworking and fabrication settings. Designed to simplify miter saw and table saw bevel angle setup, this mini digital angle finder delivers clear, accurate readings across four quadrants with a resolution of 0.1 deg. - making it a reliable tool for both professional tradespeople and serious hobbyists. Its magnetic base attaches directly to saw blades or tables for hands-free operation, while the automatic LCD backlight and digit inversion feature ensure the display is always easy to read, whether you are working at a bench or measuring overhead angles.
Key Features
- Measuring range of +/- 90 deg. x 4 quadrants - covers a full range of angles across all working orientations, so you can measure any bevel or miter angle without repositioning your reference point.
- 0.1 deg. resolution - delivers fine, precise readings that reduce setup errors when dialing in critical bevel angles on table saws or miter saws.
- Accuracy of +/- 0.1 deg. (0-90 deg.) and +/- 0.2 deg. (beyond 90 deg.) - gives you confidence that each reading reflects the true angle, keeping cuts consistent and repeatable.
- Automatic LCD backlight - illuminates the display automatically so readings remain clear in low-light shop conditions without requiring manual adjustment.
- Absolute and relative measurement modes - lets you set any angle as a zero reference and measure incrementally from that point, which is ideal for matching compound angles or repeating setups.
- Automatic digit inversion - flips the display automatically when measuring overhead or inverted surfaces, so you can read the gauge naturally regardless of orientation.
- Magnetic base - attaches hands-free directly to ferrous surfaces such as saw blades and table saw tables, keeping both hands free to adjust the tool.
- Waterproof mini body (2-3/8 in. x 2-3/8 in. x 1-1/8 in.) - the compact, durable housing withstands shop moisture and fits easily into a tool bag or apron pocket.
- Auto shut-off after 5 minutes - conserves battery life so the gauge is always ready when you need it without worrying about accidentally draining the AAA battery.
- Carry case included - protects the gauge during storage and transport, extending the service life of the tool.
Why This Product
- The magnetic base and hands-free operation make this digital angle gauge a practical solution for saw blade bevel setup - no need to hold the tool while simultaneously adjusting your saw.
- With a 0.1 deg. resolution and accuracy of +/- 0.1 deg. across the 0-90 deg. range, this gauge eliminates the guesswork of using a standard bevel square or protractor, helping you achieve repeatable, accurate cuts the first time.
- The waterproof construction and auto shut-off feature make this gauge well suited to demanding shop environments where dust, moisture, and occasional neglect are realities of daily use.
- The combination of absolute and relative modes in a compact 2-3/8 in. x 2-3/8 in. body gives you the flexibility of a full-featured angle measuring instrument without the bulk - useful for miter saw setup, table saw bevel setup, and any application requiring a precise digital protractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of battery does the DAG-001 require, and is it included?
The DAG-001 runs on a single AAA 1.5V alkaline battery. The battery is not included with the gauge, so you will need to supply one before first use.
What is the difference between absolute and relative mode on this digital angle gauge?
In absolute mode, the gauge reads the true angle relative to level (0 deg.). In relative mode, you can zero the gauge at any reference angle and measure incrementally from that point - useful when you need to match an existing angle or set a series of repeating bevel cuts.
Can the DAG-001 be used for overhead or inverted angle measurements?
Yes. The automatic digit inversion feature detects when the gauge is in an overhead or inverted orientation and flips the display so the reading is always legible, eliminating the need to mentally reverse the numbers.
How does the auto shut-off feature work, and why does it matter?
The gauge powers itself off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. This conserves the AAA battery and ensures the gauge is ready to use the next time you pick it up, without the risk of returning to a dead battery from accidentally leaving it on.
