Value Collection 418-4720 Cast Iron Angle Plate Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 418-4720 is a cast iron angle plate used for workholding, layout, and fixturing applications in machine shops and toolrooms. Measuring 4.5 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 3.5 inches high, this single-piece plate features a partially machined finish and through-slots on its surface for flexible clamping and workpiece positioning. It ships as a single unit and weighs 4 pounds. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision setup technicians use this plate as a rigid 90-degree reference and mounting surface when squaring workpieces for milling, drilling, or inspection operations.

This angle plate is suited for general-purpose fixturing in both production and job-shop environments. The open-end plate design allows workpieces to extend beyond the plate boundary, accommodating longer stock or irregular shapes. The slotted surface with through-slots provides multiple clamping positions without requiring additional tooling modifications. It is commonly used on surface plates, mill tables, and drill press tables where a square reference surface is required.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction provides rigidity and vibration damping during machining operations
• Partially machined finish on working surfaces for consistent contact and squareness
• Through-slots on plate surface allow flexible bolt-down and clamping positions
• Open-end design accommodates workpieces that extend beyond the plate footprint
• Single-plate configuration ready for immediate use without pairing
• Compact 4.5 x 3 x 3.5 inch envelope fits standard mill tables and surface plates

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cast iron angle plate for use on standard milling machines, drill presses, and surface plates where a rigid 90-degree fixturing reference is required.

Installation Notes

Installation and setup should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolmaker familiar with workholding practices. Secure the angle plate to the machine table or surface plate using appropriate T-bolts or clamps rated for the intended load before mounting any workpiece. Clean all mating surfaces of chips and debris before positioning to maintain squareness. Verify perpendicularity with a dial indicator before beginning any precision machining or layout operation.
