Need to cut some small 1/4" steel with a small angle.
I can tilt the head, but that takes a while to dial in, then dial back when done.
Spotted a "mini pallet" on Tom Liptons youtube video. Hmm, add a round stock, simple to tilt. Cut a hunk of 2024-T3 1" thick I've had for ages. Cut to 6" x 8".
Drilled 48 holes on one inch grids. 16 for dowel pins for locating work. 32 drilled and tapped holes for clamping.
Work in progress (need to add a Hermann Schmidt type of side clamp)
