I came into possession of a Brown & Sharpe granite angle plate some years ago. This is what it looks like, although this is not a picture of my stone:
I don't really understand how to use it. The back of the piece (as shown) is a smooth vertical surface. I imagine one could blue that up and set the stone on a surface plate and then a part could be held against the surface plate while rubbing it against the granite angle and thus give an indication of how square the part is and also where to scrape it.
And, of course, one can set the angle plate on a surface plate and just hold parts against it and look for light gaps.
What is the actual way to use this?
