The Best Downloadable Protractor Is Free

If you want to try a downloadable protractor, the best one I've ever come across is at ConradHoffman.com. It is actually an very small program that runs from any folder you place it in. It allows printing out LofgrenA/Baerwald, Lofgren B, and Stevenson alignments. You can adjust the inner & outer groove radii to DIN or IEC standards. "Typical" and custom groove radii are also available. The program even has 200mm reference lines which print out on x and y axis so you can check and verify your printer is printing exactly to scale. If not, the program can be adjusted to compensate for your printer. The program also prints out the best home-made strobe discs which can use the printer adjustment function to vary the size of the disc. Very cool. Disc even has a radial line which can be used to count 100 revolutions in a 3 minute period to calculate your percentage of speed error. Please read the ENTIRE readme file before using program. If you keep scrolling down there is a TON of info and useful tips there. Have fun!
