Cast iron construction with a black smooth finish and chrome coating on the turret gives this head the durability required for layout, angle measurement, and scribing tasks on the job site or in the shop. The protractor head attaches to a standard combination square blade and allows the user to set and lock precise angles for repetitive marking or transfer work. It is a standard tool for machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and tool-and-die tradespeople who require accurate angular layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis protractor head is suited for both shop and field use wherever combination square setups are needed for layout, inspection, or angle transfer. Compatible blade lengths range from 12 to 24 inches, making it adaptable to a range of workpiece sizes. It fits standard combination square blade configurations and is commonly used in metal fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and precision manufacturing environments where consistent angular reference is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReversible head design accommodates multiple blade orientations for flexible layout work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts blades from 12 to 24 inches in length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCast iron body provides rigidity and resistance to wear during repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack smooth finish with chrome coating on turret for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtractor head enables direct angle setting and transfer without a separate tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade protractor head for standard combination square systems accepting blades up to 24 inches in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires sliding the protractor head onto a compatible combination square blade and tightening the locking mechanism per the blade manufacturer's guidance. No power tools or electrical shutoff are required for assembly. Inspect the blade groove and locking clamp for debris before mounting to ensure accurate seating and repeatable measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Protractor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReversible\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Blade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Blade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Smooth with Chrome on Turret\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.95 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 52516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541401370930,"sku":"52516","price":187.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4487b2a20c971e2ba1926b28ce4177b3.jpg?v=1785874914","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-52516-reversible-combination-square-protractor-head","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
