    Angle Plates

    Made a new set of angle plates yesterday from 1/2" thick 4140 hardened and ground, I already had a set of plates that were 1/4" thick and another set that was 3/4", but sometimes the 1/4" thick plates aren't wide enough for stability and sometimes the 3/4" thick ones are too wide to fit where I want them.

    These new plates are the standard 30°-60°-90° and 45°-45°-90° but I made another plate with an angle that sometimes I could use which is 22.5°, so I made a 3rd plate at 22.5°-22.5°-135° which will come in handy once in a while.

    I didn't take any photos of the machining and grinding processes just a couple photos of the comparison of the 3 sets of plates.

    As always thanks for looking and happy machining
