   It's there, I just saw one in the paper cat. It's called a Digital Protractor/Angle Finder. I'm buying one on Mad Dogs word, he says they are THE shit to have!

   *Chris and MrPita, Was in Lowes today and saw the Bosch Mitre Finder for $99.00. Tool Crib has it in their catalog and it's on the Toolcrib Amazon web site but I think their price is $120.If you need another opinion about its usefulness, ask Gary Katz at JLC's finish carpentry's forum.

   *Question about this tool--------- If you put it into an acute angle say 140 degrees does it give you the miters 70 ?

   *I dunno, I haven't gotten it yet.But to live up to my name, acute angles are less than 90, your 140 would be obtuse.

   *Hi Allen,If you are using it as a protractor only, it will give you the actual degrees of the angle you're measureing. However, if you're installing crown that has to be cut on the flat, what you do is measure the spring angle of the crown being installed, then measure the angle of the wall corner you're fitting it to and the tool will tell you what to set the mitre and bevel on your saw to obtain the fit.If you're cutting smaller crown bedded upside down against the fence, you measure the wall corner angle and set your mitre accordingly.

   Ok, I've heard several of you comment on this. I went over to the Bosch website, and saw nothing, even looking through their entire online catalogue. So, is this tool:

   1. Something akin to the left handed board stretcher?
   2. Discontinued?
   3. Called something else by Bosch, so a search on "miter finder" wouldn't work?

   If anyone does have this, could you maybe give me a model number?

   Thanks.
