The Wixey digital readout for setting table saw blades - is essentially one too - but suffers from having a very short base - so a carpenter might find it a poor choice for setting the slope of something that had surface irregularities. http://www.wixey.com/anglegauge/index.html CheckPoint (Precision Designed Products Inc.) are really first rate products and we use their levels for setting stub-outs - aligning stud holes etc. There are several inclinometers out there.

That when I found the Tajima stuff.
