A Keats angle plate made on a shaper

<< < (2/2)

ieezitin:

Well I fixed the clanging it was the brass block that slides up the vertical ram lever arm it just got loose.

While making this angle plate I was wishing that I had a quick way that I could square off the part I am trying to machine, you can slide a parallel in the t-slots and square off that or even just use your tri-square from the base but it’s a strain on the eyes and a PIA.

So before I complete this job I threw together some material and whipped up a semi-permanent 90 deg angle stop-brace square- do-dad thingy.







Here it is fully machined and still left on the table.





And here it is installed. Now I can either use it on the left or the right of the table. It comes up square on X Y & Z









Now this really was an investment of time. For just about all stuff that needs to be machined on the table I can use the stop for square. If I needed it dead nuts on I would use the clock to find where I am and shim accordingly other than that it’s a gem I am very happy with it.

Very nice, Anthony.  Looking at some of those silky finished surfaces would have anyone dreaming of a shaper!
