I'd still like a T&S but they can take up a fair bit of your Z on a mill.

Thats a neat solution  :thumbup:

Just clamp the job in the vice at an angle, no messing about.
Its only if need to be super precise need any other means.

Round items done almost daily for last 22 years, drilled through on curves and radiuses.
Heres a sample ploughed straight in.

Johny, Lovely work but all those holes are at 90 degrees to the work piece. Surely this thread is about holes that are not  orthoganal to a plane?

It's far easier to set the vice at an angle, especially if you're machining small parts. It's also much quicker and more accurate if you have several parts to machine/drill all at the same angle. You can also do compound angles By clamping the part at an angle.

I made my tangential tool with this setup. I only have a plain vice so I had to slew it around 12° on the mill table then clamp the small vice in it at 12°.
