Value Collection 418-4550 Cast Iron Angle Plate 12x8x9 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 418-4550 is a cast iron angle plate used for precision workholding and fixturing in machining, grinding, and inspection setups. Measuring 12 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and 9 inches high, it provides a rigid 90-degree reference surface for securing workpieces during milling, boring, or layout operations. The plate features a partially machined finish with through-slots on its face surface, allowing flexible clamping of workpieces and fixtures. At 50 pounds, the mass contributes to vibration damping during cutting operations. Machinists, toolroom technicians, and quality control personnel are the primary users of this type of workholding accessory.

This angle plate is suited for use on manual and CNC machine tool tables, surface plates, and inspection tables in job shops, toolrooms, and manufacturing facilities. The webbed plate design reduces overall weight while maintaining structural rigidity. The slotted plate style accommodates a wide range of clamp and bolt configurations, making it adaptable to varied workpiece geometries. It ships as a single plate and is appropriate for both production and one-off fixturing tasks where a stable, square reference is required.

Key Features

• Through-slots on the plate surface allow flexible positioning of clamps and studs
• Webbed construction balances rigidity with reduced mass
• Partially machined finish provides accurate reference surfaces where it matters
• 50-pound cast iron body dampens vibration during machining operations
• Single-plate configuration for individual fixturing setups
• 12 x 8 x 9 inch footprint suits a wide range of mid-size workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose workholding accessory compatible with standard T-slot machine tables and surface plates that accept common clamping hardware.

Installation Notes

Angle plates of this type are installed by machinists and toolroom personnel using standard T-slot bolts or clamps on machine tables or surface plates. Before mounting or adjusting the angle plate, ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the table is stationary. Verify the mounting surface is clean and free of chips or burrs that could affect squareness. Do not use the plate as a striking surface, as impact can damage machined reference faces.
