VR-45 Right-angle angle plate by Vertex — high-strength cast steel, compact size

The VR-45 serves as a compact angle plate for precision right-angle workholding and repeatable clamping tasks in workshop and inspection environments.

• Robust high‑strength cast steel construction
• Compact 4-1/2 x 3 x 3-1/2 inch footprint
• Weighs only 1.3 kg for easy positioning
• Precision right-angle workholding

Accurate right-angle clamping for repeatable results

A stable right-angle reference is essential for repeatable machining and measurement. The angle plate’s geometry provides a consistent datum that reduces alignment iterations and shortens setup time, which increases throughput and lowers scrap rates. The inherent stiffness of the design ensures that forces introduced during clamping or light machining do not translate into measurable movement, so fixtures and gauges remain reliable over repeated use.

Compact footprint that suits bench and machine setups

With its compact dimensions and modest mass, the plate integrates easily into both bench-top inspection rigs and machine-tool vice setups. The small footprint allows close placement to other fixtures and instruments without crowding the work area, while the 1.3 kg weight makes manual repositioning straightforward when reconfiguring jigs. This balance of portability and stability supports flexible workflows in small-batch production and maintenance operations.

Durable construction to reduce lifetime maintenance

Manufactured from high-strength cast steel, the component combines rigidity with favourable vibration-damping properties compared with lighter materials. Cast steel resists deformation under clamping loads and maintains surface integrity during prolonged use, reducing the need for reconditioning. The material choice supports long service intervals and predictable performance, contributing to lower total cost of ownership for measurement and machining fixtures.

Designed for straightforward integration into workholding systems

The geometry and mass distribution of the angle plate make it suitable as a reliable reference in a variety of tasks, from marking out and drill setups to visual inspection aids. The compact, rigid form facilitates quick alignment and clamping with standard workshop accessories, while the manufacturer’s industrial pedigree ensures compatibility with professional workflows. The VR-45 is therefore a practical choice where compact workholding and sustained accuracy are required.

FAQ

Is the angle plate suitable for light machining operations?
The VR-45 angle plate by Vertex is intended primarily for clamping and inspection tasks; its high-strength cast steel construction tolerates light cutting forces but is optimised for stable referencing rather than heavy material removal.

Can the plate be clamped directly in a vice or mounted to a fixture?
The compact form and mass of the VR-45 allow secure clamping in a suitable vice or attachment to existing fixtures for repeatable positioning in both bench and machine contexts.

What are the exact dimensions and weight of the angle plate?
Dimensions are 4-1/2 x 3 x 3-1/2 in and the component weighs 1.3 kg, making it easy to handle while providing a stable reference surface.

How does the material choice affect long-term use?
Manufactured from high-strength cast steel, the angle plate offers enhanced stiffness and damping; this reduces deformation under load and supports consistent precision over extended service life.

Is the VR-45 suitable for use in inspection rigs and measurement benches?
Yes. The geometry and stability of the VR-45 make it well suited as a right-angle reference in inspection rigs and precision benches where repeatable alignment matters.
