Which tool is used for drafting and light layout of various angles, marked in 360 degrees increments?

• A. Speed Square
• B. Chalk Line
• C. Angle Finder
• D. French Curves

Answer: (C)

An angle finder is used to measure and transfer angles across a full 360-degree range, making it ideal for drafting and laying out lines at any angle. It usually features a protractor-style scale and adjustable arms that let you lock in a precise angle and then reproduce that angle on a workpiece or drawing. This flexibility to set and reproduce any angle around the circle is what makes it the best choice for drafting and light layout of various angles. In contrast, a speed square mainly handles right angles and a few common angles (like 45 degrees), a chalk line marks long straight lines rather than angles, and French curves are for drawing smooth curves rather than measuring or transferring specific angles.
