Angle Blocks

[twhite]

I had a bit of time available today on the CNC Milling Center. So I made some angle blocks 5-45 deg in 5 deg increments. They are made from some unknown 1/4”x2” flat ground steel. They are 2-1/2” long on the base.

They will be good enough for home use.

Cutting oil is my blood.

VERY nice!

Was the lettering done on the same machine?

Yes. All done on a HAAS VF3

Awesome, that is what I drive too

Agree.

A handy addition to angle blocks is marking the reciprocal angle as a negative. Exactly the effect of stacking -1° on a 45°, 44°. The other side, 46°. The CNC should provide decent enough resolution that almost any angle can be achieved, after expanding the set with 1/2°, 1°, 2° & 4°. The breakdown sort of depends on depth of your vise jaws, where a stack pushes the part beyond reach of jaws.
I usually clamp up to a knee and set up that instead.

Good idea. I will have to see if I have enough stock left to do that.

Thank you!
