which tool to set up a piece to an angle?

John,
As explained before, sine bars can be as difficult to use as you want to make them.
Stew and myself , yesterday, explained to Darren just how easy they are to use in a basic configuration without using slips, in less than a minute. I think we have a definite convert.
It is the slip gauges that put people off, mainly because of the very high cost. But with a mic and a bit of thin shim (or feeler gauges) for fine adjustment, you can easily find what is required about a normal workshop, and get yourself to spot on or near enough that it doesn't matter.

From the descriptions I'd been told I thought the same John
But when Bogs stuck one in my hand yesterday and explained yet again the penny dropped.
I now believe them to be simple, effective and a sturdy way to set a piece at an angle.
Darren:
John, maybe a link to the Workshop Calc would serve well here for anyone that finds this thread?

Darren,
When I get time, I will make up a little post to show how we explained it to you yesterday.
It will be a rough and ready method, not the purist way of doing it, but I think it would definitely help some of the newer machining members. Not only to help them understand how it works, but an easy method of getting accurate angles without too much cost involved.
John
