cutting angle on the mill with angle blocks

You are better off using a tilting angle table so you can clamp the work solidly in the vise. Otherwise, a piece sticking out that much will probably move.

I really can't stress the need for variety, in flexible clamping systems, nearly enough. There will always be that one job where you need to do something unconventional ...
 
Right now I'm thinking about all the posts where folks have said, "I have a swivel base for my vise and haven't seen any need for it for years..."
Yup. Recently pulled my rotary vice off the shelf to make the same cut as the OP on a long flat. Hadn't used it since I bought the CNC mill. Just the right tool for a quick job.
