   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_gauge

   An angle gauge is a tool used by foresters to determine which trees to measure when using a variable radius plot design in forest inventory. Using this tool a forester can quickly measure the trees that are in or out of the plot. An angle gauge is similar to a wedge prism though it must be held a fixed distance from the eye to work properly.

3. Square (tool) - Wikipedia

   Square (tool) A square is a tool used for marking and referencing a 90° angle, though mitre squares are used for 45° angles. Squares see common use in woodworking, metalworking, construction and technical drawing. [1] Some squares incorporate a scale for measuring distances (a ruler) or for calculating angles.

   Dial indicator, also known as a dial test indicator, dial gauge, or probe indicator an instrument used to accurately measure small linear distances. Feeler gauge: a simple tool used to measure gap widths. Gauge block, (also known as a gage block, Johansson gauge, slip gauge, or Jo block) a precision ground and lapped length measuring standard.

5. Goniometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goniometer

   A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position. The term goniometry derives from two Greek words, γωνία (gōnía) ' angle ' and μέτρον (métron) ' measure '. [1] The protractor is a commonly used type in the fields of mechanics, engineering, and geometry.

7. Sliding T bevel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliding_T_bevel

   A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square[1] is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. Different from the square, which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle, the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it on another piece. The bevel gauge is composed of two elements connected with a thumbscrew or ...
