Do we have a sine plate? I know we have the sine bar but just didn’t notice a plate. I found one reference to it from an older post but I dont know that i’ve seen it.
We have a sine bar and precision angles … the digital protractor needs a battery.
Use the since bar, angles or protractor to set the angle on set the tilt plate.

We do need to get more T-slot hardware. I’ll be ordering some of that in the future. Some of the angle plates have different T-Slot sizes.

I saw this style on ebay tonight and thought it seemed useful. Would have helped with a cut I was trying to make yesterday.
Our tilt plate is very large. I’m guess 10"-12" wide and 18" long. Long term it would be great to get a compound sine plate. The large tilt plate can basically do what a single sine plate can do using digital protractor or angles. If you need really precise angles, more than 1 minute of arc, then a sine is pretty much required.
There is also such a thing as these angled parallels. The workpiece is held at standard angles (15, 30, 45 degrees). Useful for machining a flat on an angled piece and then perhaps drilling and tapping that end. I’m not sure they would survive long.
