I'd run       bolts through the angle, slide the strip under the flat leg, push the       vertical leg up against the stock and tighten it down forming a lever       clamp on the edge of the stock. This allowed me to machine the entire       face. I'm sure you get it, but if not I could pencil up a sketch pretty       quick. I think the only reason I didn't send stock flying is because of       the very low cutting loads.              Bob La Londe              -------------------------------              As I imagine it the strip under the horizontal leg's outer edge tilted the       vertical leg of the angle against the stock when you tightened the hold       downs.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
