Does anyone have the conversion chart that converts the breakmaster degrees into percentage of slope? I saw one on John Graham's site, however, it doesn't go high enough. I measured 4.5* today for a putt and that chart cuts off at 2.5*

You have a pin position with a 4.5* degree slope? WOW. How does one stop the ball near that position? Mark has some on his website, if you need something more you should ask on Mark's forum, he is very responsive and will likely help you out.
As a side note, I like to double check my Breakmaster with a digital level which will give you the percentage slope directly. I sometimes find that the Breakmaster can be affected by spike marks, small rocks on the green, etc. Plus once I get the value on the level I don't need to do any conversion.

Why should one convert the degree readings from the breakmaster to percentage of slope readings?

1. Degrees only go to 90* when it comes to slope. % goes up to 100% so there's a bit more accuracy there.
2. AimPoint golf's 'Aim Charts' are based on %, not degrees.

I measured 4.5* today for a putt and that chart cuts off at 2.5* If you want to extend the chart to any number just take the : tangent(degrees)*100 to get the percent slope. So for you example. tangent (4.5) * 100 = 0.0787 * 100 = 7.9% I also added an extended version on my post. johngrahamgolf.com/blog/aimpoint-golf-green-reading-conversion/Feel free to ask me for anything related to topics like this.
