12: These angle plates were purchased from Micro-Mark.
My favorite clamps for building resin freight car kits are the
Coffman clamps that were discussed in a Tool Shed article in
the
Angle Plates
Angle plates are used with a milling machine to hold the
piece vertical while it being machined. Parts clamped to the
vertical surface can be held perpendicular to the table even
if they are not flat on the bottom. Angle plates normally
have T-slots so it can be securely fastened to a milling table.
I purchased my angle plates (12) from Micro-Mark. My large
ones are 2″ models, while my small one is 1″. They don’t
have T-slots or another way to hold them to a milling table
other than clamping them. While I don’t use them with my
milling machine, I do use them all the time when building
