Today I hoisted the rotary table onto the mill table and made a set of four right isosceles triangles for some set up operations or
to be used with magnets for weld positioning. I happened to have a pair of these donut magnets so will likely sandwich them
between each pair of triangles and probably bolt them together along with a bit of gorilla glue or similar. The triangles were
roughed out on the band saw table freehand and fine tuned with the rotary table.
I used 3/16 hot roll as I had a chunk of it laying around to make these.
The round donut magnets have plenty of holding power so I am happy with that. The mill scale was not coming off very well
with my angle grinder so may have to get some more aggressive wheels for that purpose.
