A goniometer used on an upright (vertical) band saw is a precision angle-measuring tool that helps operators make accurate miter, bevel, or compound cuts.

The goniometer is only compatible with the 782XL and 784XL Benchtop saws with the Optional Work Table.

What it does:

Measures and sets angles on the workpiece or saw table

Ensures consistent and repeatable cuts

Helps align material when making angled notches, joints, or specialty profiles

Reduces operator guesswork and improves cut accuracy

In short, when you're cutting anything other than a straight 90° on a vertical band saw, a goniometer lets you precisely position the material or verify the table tilt to get the correct angle every time.
