    If you want the finger plate to have infinite adjustability about the vertical axis, make the tenon on the bottom cylindrical and make a clamp like the one I made for this multi-angle collet indexer...

    The split clamp held in the vise is squeezed tight by the action of the vise and clamps the cylindrical tenon at whatever angle you desire.
