    Using set up angles and parallels to set the angles will make for accurate milling.

    I set a piece of 1/4" plate under the angles to put them on center to the pivot point of the top plate. I will probably end up making a jig so i can clamp the angles in place during set up.

    It also clamps nicely into the milling vise. That will make for quick set ups when doing light cuts on aluminum.

    Another fun project! (except for tapping all those holes...). This will work well and will be aversatile addition to my shop.
    Now to get it finished so it doesn't rust all up on me.
