Sine Bar and Plates

I made myself a couple thin Sine Plates for my mill. Set angle plates looked like a good idea at first but it seemed like I needed something that would “hang out” past the sides of my small vise for easier setup. I copied the general look and feel of most of the commercial bars. Milled from 1/8″ 6061 aluminum plate I wrote the GCode for the 3″ and 5″ profiles and milled them.IMG_0994

 

I decided to make a 3/4″ thick bar version while I was at it.
