@Mnwelder thats the best angle fixture I’ve seen….. it establishes an accurate angle baseline without the use of cad or a digital angle finder.
It also allows clamping too 2 faces on the angle. Not the corner of a fixture……
I have to recover from the 2 full sized tables and fixtures we just ordered…
… I’ll give you some business on these down the road
Well done.
@HarrisMetalSmith Thanks! I spent a lot of time figuring out what it should do and I’m very happy with how it came out.
I get it! A few years ago I bought two tables and a pile of accessories and it was definitely an investment. But well worth it
That is a trick fixture! You’ve got a lot of time developing that
Are you ready to sell the angle finder tool yet? Thanks, Larry Brazil
Hey Larry, yes, they are currently sale on cdmweldfab.com we have a limited stock but are working on making more.
Thank you for your response. I need to save some cash to purchase one. How did you arrive at the price…it is a high cost for me? I seen it used, maybe on FireBall tools. I bought one of their tables and spend an equal amount for tools, but your tool may be needed as well. Time and had work will tell. 
Sincerely, Larry Brazil
I’m going to pop in here and ask what protractor, angle cube, etc… does he own that’s actually accurate to 1/10 of 1°??? Every spec I’ve seen doesn’t support that tolerance.
A magic square and a quality protractor or angle cube can get close but I don’t know that it’ll beat math and a fixture map.
Stabila digital levels and digital protractors are claimed accurate to 0.10°
Precisely
We use a stabile digital angle finder……
For both in field measurements and for in shop setups.
The whole point of my original question about that angle fixture was to be able to measure something like a grab rail in the field and then walk up to the table and lock in a single angle quickly.
That is faster than fixture mapping in cad…..
There’s a place for an angle locking fixture.
Whether basic or complex
The FireBall magic square is adjustable and lockable. It would work like a bevel gauge. I’ve seen other tools made out of 1” channel, some flatbar tabs, and makeshift clamps. They were probably referenced for holding roll cage tubes.
Exactly……
The magic square is a great tool.
I just wish there was a version of that, that worked with the tables. Fireballs tool design is truly phenomenal in many ways
I personally feel that this is a missing piece.
If you can manufacture the magic square do one with holes that index with the table.
You can do what I want to do with clamps and a magic square…… it would be nice to have it index with the table for a couple of reasons
Long ago in a Facebook group (Drift Trike) I stumbled across some welding squares that were made by AE-Tools. A guy named Nate Arinta originally posted it. They were aluminum I think and featured a vee like profile for use on round tubing.
He changed the name from AE-Tools to Arinta Engineering. It seems items are currently out of stock.
