I just aquired a Neise Modern Tools, Easy-Angle tool. This is a block
of steel 4 X 1/2 X 1 1/4 with a series of holes and pins in it. Two
of the larger pins are labeled "A" and "B" and stamped in the side are
60 30 45 30 60 15, etc.

The prior owner said that he used to have a paper that went along with
it to tell how to use and set it up properly but it is lost.

A google search was unproductive.

Can any of you guys help?

These apparently came in different sizes. I have what is apparently a Model
EZ-6 which has 12 holes across the top as opposed to yours which has 8. I
do have a setup sheet for mine which might help you get started on
deciphering it's use and I can scan it in for you. Email me at
if you'd like a copy. It will be 2 pages which have to
be taped together to make complete sense of the document. It's just a
diagram of the hole patterns along with a table of which pins go where to
create the desired angle. The hole patterns on our 2 sets look a little
different.

The table for mine shows 4 pins (A, B, C, and D). I have pins stamped A, B,
and C plus 2 small-diameter ones like the ones in your picture. Those might
be the D pins. The head for the C-pin in my set is ~0.489" OD.

This is used as a setup aid when placed in the vise of a milling
machine against the fixed jaw. A part needing a quick angle cut rests
against the correct set of pins, setting the angle. I've seen them as
projects in many toolmaker's books.

Mike,
I sent an email to you. Did you get it? Will try again.

Bob,

Nope - nothing came in, though it might have been confused with spam and
been deleted. Try again and put something recognizable in the title. Or if
the email address on this post is valid, I can contact you that way.
