I just made a pair of 45 degree angle blocks and they look like they will fit my needs. A 12 inch rotary
table was used to set the angles. I can see no discernable inaccuracy using my 90 degree square and
the pair measures side for side within a couple thousandths. I know I could buy a set for 30 dollars or so
but what would be the fun in that? Also pictured is a 30-60-90 triangle I made a few weeks ago.
Accuracy could be increased by grinding the angles after milling them out but for now good enough...
I bought a 5 foot piece of mild steel 1/4 x 4 inches so have enough material to make a bunch more
if the spirit moves me.
