AN ADJUSTABLE ANGLE PLATE

摘要

The castings did have some rather large areas of excess metal that needed removing and, for me, this is best done outside the workshop using an angle grinder. The main ones can be seen in photo 2 on the near edge of the two rear slots of the right-hand casting. In addition to removing any excess metal, grind a small chamfer on all edges that the cutter will eventually have to run into, making it easier to get past any hard spots that may be present. For the reader who would like more help with the process of preparing and machining castings, read my recent article on the subject in Model Engineer's Workshop, Issue161, page 18.
