Rh Milling Angular Gib, Using Compound Vertical Spindle Milling Attachment

Angular cutters are not always at hand that will produce the proper angle on angular strips, gibs, etc., and when this is the case, the value of a Compound Vertical Spindle Milling Attachment can be appreciated. This attachment can be swung to mill a wide variety of different angles, using an ordinary end mill. It can be used to mill an angle on a long gib, similar to that shown above, or the head can be removed, turned quarter way around and put back in place, and used to mill an angle on a piece where, for some reason, it is advantageous to feed the table transversely.
