[Shop-talk] Inside/outside angle finder

[Mark]

John,  you are probably doing it the hard way.  Have you tried to cope the 
corners, it saved me hours and it still looks perfect after 10 years.

Hey gang, boy do I feel dumb.

I purchased a "protractor" or "Inside/Outside Angle Finder"

http://www.harborfreight.com/web-exclusive-sale/multipurpose-angle-finder-1028.html

I'm trying to figure out how to read it.  The main protractor is in
5deg increments.  A couple of months ago I did a google search for how to 
read
something and found a very good description of how to read the vernier on
this particular angle finder.

Well today I started to put down new base board molding and grabbed the
angle finder, and measured the first corner.  But for the live of me I can't
get an closer to the angle than the 5 degree increments.

Anyone have a link to a site that tells you how to read this tool or 
something
similar?

TIA

John
