Default Angles

Cheers.

This will do every angle you need to cut, it's what we use every day to make the compound cuts and to set the lathe for the fish mouths on the wishbone tubes.

I prefer the one available from Machine Mart as it allows the steel rule guide to sit ontop of the steel box section (as it is stepped) and so ensures the guide is set at the angle using the steel to be cut as the horizontal plain.

A little more expensive but very robust & accurate.

cheers
