Value Collection 418-4730 Cast Iron Angle Plate 7x4.5x5.5 Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 418-4730 is a single cast iron angle plate designed for use in machining, inspection, and workholding setups on mills, drill presses, and surface plates. The plate measures 7 inches wide, 4.5 inches deep, and 5.5 inches high. It features a partially machined finish and through-slots on the work surface, allowing secure clamping of workpieces or fixture components. The open-end design gives clearance for longer workpieces that extend beyond the plate boundary. At 13.22 pounds, it provides stable mass for vibration-dampened setups without requiring a full toolroom-grade surface finish.

This angle plate is suited for general-purpose machine shop and toolroom applications where a precision-ground finish is not required. The through-slot configuration accepts standard T-bolts and clamp hardware for securing workpieces at 90 degrees to a table or surface plate. Typical users include machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians performing layout, drilling, or milling operations that require a rigid right-angle reference surface. The open-end style is particularly useful when facing or boring operations must pass through or beyond the plate.

Key Features

• Through-slots on the work surface accept standard T-bolts and clamp sets for versatile workpiece fixturing
• Open-end plate design provides clearance for workpieces longer than the plate height
• Partially machined cast iron construction delivers rigid, vibration-dampened support at a practical cost
• Single-plate configuration for straightforward 90-degree workholding setups
• 13.22-pound mass contributes to setup stability on machine tables and surface plates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use angle plate compatible with standard machine table T-slots and surface plate setups requiring a slotted, open-end cast iron right-angle reference fixture.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using standard T-bolt and clamp hardware appropriate to the machine table slot size. Verify the machine table or surface plate is clean and free of chips before seating the angle plate. Secure all clamping hardware firmly before initiating any cutting or drilling operation. Do not exceed the load or clamping force appropriate for cast iron fixtures, as cast iron is brittle and can crack under shock loading or overtorque.
