Value Collection 418-4535 Cast Iron Angle Plate 8x5x6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 418-4535 is a partially machined cast iron angle plate used for workholding, fixturing, and inspection setups on machine tools and surface plates. It measures 8 inches wide, 5 inches deep, and 6 inches high, and weighs 17 pounds. The plate features through-slots on its mounting surface, allowing flexible positioning of clamps, bolts, and other workholding hardware. A webbed internal design reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity. The partial machining provides flat, usable reference surfaces while keeping cost lower than fully ground alternatives. Machinists, tool and die makers, and metrology technicians are the primary installers of this type of workholding accessory.

This angle plate is suited for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and inspection departments. It functions as a right-angle reference fixture when squaring workpieces on milling machines, drill presses, surface grinders, and layout tables. The through-slot configuration on the plate surface accommodates standard T-bolts and strap clamps. Its cast iron construction dampens vibration during cutting operations, making it well-suited for moderate-duty fixturing applications in both job shop and production environments. Sold as a single plate.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction provides rigidity and vibration damping during machining
• Through-slots on the plate surface allow flexible clamp and bolt placement
• Webbed internal design maintains structural strength while reducing overall mass
• Partially machined finish delivers functional reference surfaces at a practical cost
• Compact 8 x 5 x 6 inch footprint suits benchtop and mid-size machine table use
• Sold as a single plate with no paired unit required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard workholding angle plate compatible with milling machines, drill presses, surface grinders, and surface plates that accept T-bolt or strap clamp fixturing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. Before mounting workpieces, ensure the machine table or surface plate is clean and free of chips or burrs that could affect seating. Secure the angle plate using appropriate T-bolts or strap clamps rated for the clamping load required. Verify squareness with a precision square or dial indicator before beginning any machining or layout operation.
