And if I'm not mistaken, you have cnc...which is why I mentioned using
cnc and a ball end mill to produce an angled surface.
PT, I've done that before; I have two reasons not to normally do it:
1) My CAM package makes it very clunky to set up an angled side profile
like that, because it is primarily a 2.5D package, and
2) I'm not really happy with the time vs. surface finish tradeoffs of
that method. It takes a really long time to make the tiny stepovers and
depth increments to produce a reasonable finish.
But yes. It works OK. There are times when it's just not practical to
move a piece around on the angle plate, and then so-called "side-
profiling" is the way to go.
