So I have a piece of plate, and I need to cut a 45 degree bevel around the top edge. The bottom of the bevel needs to come down half the thickness of the plate. Problem is, I just can't visualize how to measure that, because any way I slice it, there are no parallel faces to measure. The only thing I can think of is to use the calipers by 'feel', opening them til the ridge of the bevel falls in.
Note that I have no problem making a 45 degree bevel. I just don't know how to make it deep enough, accurately. This is for fun, but I'm trying to learn as I go. Thanks for the help in advance.
On another note, I just got my one-knob indicator holder from LMS. Oh my God it's so much better than my old cheapie.
