The paper presents a graphical procedure for analyzing a trisector -- a mechanism used for trisecting an arbitrary acute angle. The trisector employed was a working model designed and built for this purpose. The procedure, when applied to the mechanism at the \(60^o\) angle, which has been proven to be not trisectable, as well as the \(45^o\) angle, which is known to be trisectable, has yielded results that compared in both precision and accuracy.
