Value Collection 418-4325 Cast Iron Machined Angle Plate

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 418-4325 is a single cast iron machined angle plate designed for use in precision layout, inspection, and machining setups. The plate measures 5 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 5 inches high, and weighs 11 pounds. It features a flat surface finish and a double web construction for added rigidity. Machinists, toolmakers, and quality control technicians use angle plates like this to hold and square workpieces on surface plates, milling machines, and inspection tables. The machined surfaces provide reliable reference planes for accurate angular positioning.

This angle plate is suited for general-purpose shop use in both production and inspection environments. The double web design adds structural support without excessive bulk, making it practical for workholding setups where squareness and parallelism tolerances are critical. It is typically found in machine shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities where repeatable, precise setups are required on surface plates or machine tables.

Key Features

• Flat machined surface for accurate workholding and inspection reference
• Double web construction increases rigidity and reduces flex under load
• Cast iron material provides vibration damping and dimensional stability
• Squareness tolerance of 0.0036 inches for precision alignment work
• Parallelism tolerance of 0.0050 inches across machined surfaces
• Single plate configuration for straightforward setup and positioning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style cast iron angle plate for general machining and inspection applications. Compatible with surface plates, milling machine tables, and similar flat reference surfaces used in typical machine shop and quality control setups.

Installation Notes

Angle plates are typically set up by machinists and toolmakers in machine shop environments. Clean both the angle plate seating surface and the reference surface thoroughly before placing the plate to avoid measurement errors caused by chips or debris. Secure workpieces using T-slot clamps or strap clamps appropriate for the load. Inspect mounting surfaces periodically for nicks or burrs that could affect squareness and parallelism readings.
