30/60 degrees are round numbers which are very useful for a lot of applications. Your .02 radian protractor doesn't have a mark on it for either.

Realistically, it probably would; those marks would just not fit into the progression of .02 radian marks. Ever seen a meter stick that also measured inches?

Are you trying to measure an angle, draw a particular angle, or confirm that an angle meets a particular standard?
