Go to Amazon.com and search protractor. You'll get a large selection.

Bill:

Don't know what you want the protractor for.
But take a look at Lee Valley item # 05N66.01
Veritas Bevel setter. Even my eyes can set a bevel
gage to 4.5 degrees with this thing.

I got one last Xmas and I love it.

Thanks for all of the replies. What I needed was a protractor with physically
large numbers for use by a visually impaired school student. I ended up
creating it using Generic Cadd and giving it to my wife to take to work to copy
onto transparency stock.

She works in the Visually Impaired/Blind support program in Allegheny County
(PA). I, being visually impaired myself, am called upon on occasion to come up
with ideas to achieve accessibility for some of the students.

Large number for legibility or large number behinD the decimal point?

THE choice for visually challenged is the Bosch digital read-out
protractor. I have one..and if you can't reads those digits, you
shouldn't be anywhere near a saw.
