Digital Inclinometer – Heavy-Duty Magnetic Angle Gauge

The Beall Tilt Box is very simple with only two buttons. The Tilt Box does exactly what it was designed to do. It measures the angle between the table top and blade of my tablesaw. I am impressed with the metal construction of my Tilt Box. It feels solid in my hands and I don't worry about breaking it when attaching to my blade. Also, it uses a more readily available battery than some of the other models out there. Opperation is also very simple, just turn it on and press the 0 button to align the tilt box with your tabletop. Once attached to the blade, it reads the angular difference between the blade and the tabletop. This little box and your skill creat perfect joints every time.

The unit I received was not within the +/- .1 degrees of angle below the temperature of 70 degrees F. For example, tilted to the right it gave 89.85 (not too bad) but tilted to the left it was a whopping 89.7 degrees. This is unacceptable for a decent saw blade setup and I imagine that it gets worse as the temp goes down, as that was the trend I saw. My shop is below 60 degrees for about half the year. This tool is just a slick gimmick. Don't bother with the iGaging Angle Cube - they're worse. Please make these guys produce a useful product by not buying their junk. I'm an electronics technician by trade and I know for a fact that they need to temperature compensate this kind of device, but it will cost more money....

After reading about the Beall and other digital angle gauges I bought one for my birthday. It's a disappointment. I guess I should have quantified what .1 degrees actually is before buying it.If I use the tilt box to set a 90 deg. angle, the gap of light I see between my machinists square and the blade/fence/etc. looks shockingly large. I did this several times and checked it with feeler gauges and got a run of .008 over a rise of 3.165. I interpret that as 0.14° off.If that doesn't sound like much, remember that when you're fitting miters that the error is multiplied by two for every angle. The error stack-up in a multi-sided object will add up quickly.Even if it was within specification at .1 degrees off, the gap would still be .006. It doesn't sound like a big number, but when I check it against a square or an adjustable drafting triangle I find an innacuracy that I never accepted in the past. I can do better with a machinsts square and/or an adjustable drafting triangle. A lot less money and no batteries.Maybe I received a defective one? But even if it does read within the stated accuracy, I don't see much use for it. I'd always be re-checking it other ways.There is no point in owning something that is less accurate and not much faster than my current methods. I must return it.

It is as advertised and well made. I would recommend it and purchase again.

I bought the Beall Tilt Box , and was disappointed in its accuracy, repeatability, and sensitivity to change in angle. I first tried using the Tilt Box to set my table saw blade to an angle of 90 degrees, but I found I could achieve much greater accuracy using a carpenter's square . My ordinary carpenter's bubble level was far more accurate in finding true level than was the Tilt Box. I first though I simply had a bad sample, but upon receiving a second Tilt Box, I found the same problems , and speaking with the manufacturer was not productive. The Tilt Box will certainly, however, get me into the ballpark for angles not available from my square, bubble level, or angle scale on my equipment. I'm going to keep one of the Tilt Boxes, since I will probably find some other uses for it, but I do not consider it to be a precision tool.

I bought this angle gage to use with my ancient Delta tilting table saw. Peering under the table to see the angle settings was getting to be a hassle, and sometimes the accuracy in getting the table and blade back to 90 degrees after an angle cut was time consuming. Out of the box this gage did exactly what was needed and I anticipate better results from future projects. The large readout is good for most illumination levels in the shop typical of that technology. From a few simple accuracy checks, it seems to be quite good.Plans are to put it to use on some interior framing work like door and window rough openings.JB

This box is so easy to use and makes setting blade angles on the table saw a breeze with built in magnets.checking angles on anything is quick and easy. Seems to be pretty rugged also.

I have had this for a while and I am throwing it away. it is off .95 degrees. The markings on my table saw are more accurate and it is a Rigid contractors saw. setting this at 45 degrees is off by .95 and that is an unacceptable amount. I will save the battery as it is still good and maybe pry out the magnets.
