Angle plate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An angle plate is a work holding device used as a fixture in metalworking.
They are made from high quality materials (generally spheroidal cast iron) that has been stabilized to prevent further movement or distortion. Slotted holes or T bolt slots are machined into the surfaces to be enable secure attachment or clamping of workpieces to the plate, and also the plate to the worktable.
These angle plates may also be used to hold the workpiece square to the table during marking out operations.
Adjustable angle plates are also available for work that needs to be inclined, usually towards a milling cutter.
