    very nice job, been wants to make one for a while now. Just needs some sort of attached protractor for quick setting of less critical angles. keep posting!

It's .001 high in one corner but will take care of that problem when I get my next project done (homemade surface grinder). Should be finished shortly.Attachment 6049Attachment 6050Attachment 6051
    very handy practical tool , i'm expecting an independ 4 jaw chuck I've bought to make my tilting table, and it will be inspired by yours

    Yeah, many years later, but.......potential engravings would be too small a spacing to have any readability. A better solution would use a magnetic analog or digital protractor. You could preset an angle or follow to desired setting, and have an instrument for use elsewhere. The price range selection is very broad.
