<div>If it were me I would just calculate based on trig. Before you bore out to 12" measure the depth difference between the inside and out side edges of the seat and call this a. Measure the inside and outside diameters before boring and designate b as the difference in diameters /2. Angle would be arctan (a/b).</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Cliff</div><div><br clear="none"></div>

Will Cohen is making the dome for me. My problem is, I have to measure the seat angle to within 1\4 of 1 degree. How can I measure this angle without buying an expensive digital protractor? I thought about just measuring the distances of the angles and just do the math, but it is pretty tricky to measure.</div><div>Hank</div></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br clear="none">Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br clear="none"><a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br clear="none"></div></div>
