Here is what 1 degree 25 minutes and 50 seconds look like on the lathe compound protractor.
I have fooled with this thing for some time now to get it this way by using a MT 2 taper and a dial indicator to prove it.
I would say the protractor is pretty darn close as this angle is really close to 1 1/2 degrees.
