Value Collection 418-4520 Cast Iron Angle Plate Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 418-4520 is a cast iron angle plate used for workholding, fixturing, and precision layout operations in machine shops and production environments. The plate measures 4.5 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 3.5 inches high. It features a partially machined finish and a webbed design that provides structural rigidity while keeping weight manageable at 3.65 pounds. Through-slots on the plate surface accept clamping hardware, allowing secure attachment of workpieces or the plate itself to a machine table or surface plate. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production setup technicians are the primary installers and users of this type of tooling component.

This angle plate is suited for use in milling, drilling, grinding, and inspection setups where a workpiece must be held perpendicular or at a fixed reference angle to the machine table. The slotted surface allows flexible clamping positions across a range of workpiece sizes. Its single-plate format makes it appropriate for compact setups where only one reference face is required. The webbed internal construction keeps the casting stable under clamping load without adding unnecessary bulk.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction provides vibration damping and dimensional stability under load
• Through-slots on the plate surface allow flexible clamping positions for varied workpiece sizes
• Partially machined finish on reference surfaces for accurate workholding and layout
• Webbed plate design maintains rigidity while reducing overall mass
• Single-plate format suits compact fixturing and inspection setups
• Weighs 3.65 pounds — manageable for manual positioning on a machine table or surface plate

Compatibility

Designed as a standard single angle plate for use in machine shop and toolroom applications requiring perpendicular workholding or precision layout reference.

Installation Notes

Angle plates are installed and positioned by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before securing the plate, ensure the machine table or surface plate is clean and free of chips and burrs that could affect seating accuracy. Use appropriate clamping hardware through the through-slots to secure the angle plate and workpiece; verify that clamping force is applied evenly to avoid rocking or distortion. Inspect the machined reference faces for nicks or damage before use to confirm accurate perpendicularity.
