Angle Plates
Quick Answer
An angle plate is a precision workholding and reference tool consisting of two hardened, ground surfaces set at exactly 90° to each other. Angle plates are used on surface plates, milling machines, and grinding machines to hold workpieces vertically for machining and inspection operations, to provide a precise 90° reference surface for layout and squareness checking, and as a stable clamping platform for parts that cannot be held horizontally.
