Tilting Mill Vise
Is it a one time operation, will you be making the part constantly. You are probably better off with a precision (grinding) vise and an adjustable sine plate, or compound sine plate. If you do not trash it, you can sell the sine plate and vise for close to what you paid for two pieces. You will... -

How to deburr this? I dont know how to get at the inside edge. I have tried using the squiggly deburring tool but that does not do a very good job.
