Fast way to get common angles on the mill or shaper

Deburr the t-slots. A close fitting parallel and a reference angle will get you close enough most of the time. Everything must be clean.

On bridgeports we used to use two 5/8 dowel pins. They fit snugly into the bridgeport slots. I still have 2 in a small box in my toolbox.

Cool idea! If only I had a mill or shaper to use it.

Awesome! I just picked up a SB7". Got about 30 minutes on the machine so far. The more hints and trick I can find the better. Thanks for sharing!
