Here is a sine plate that was made from precision ground stock.
The top table is 6" wide x 8" long ( nice size ). I picked up all the pieces from someone at the
York Model Show . All I had to do was drill and tap some 60 holes, do some milling and
turning work, and assemble and allign it. Now I know why they cost so much!

This piece will be used for doing light milling work on models.
The table rotates under .001" across the face at any angle (which supprised me)
based on allignment of the front plate edges to the milling table. It lays flat within
.0005". Center to center of the rolls are 5.001" and an angle setting is within 20 seconds or so.
You don't use these too often but surely come in handy when you  need it.
It's no Suburban but beats two of the cheap tilt tables I have by a mile.
Not bad for $25 and a 12 hours worth of work. Guess I'll add it to the other 700# of stuff
holding down the floor!

I am sure that will come in quite handy at times, Rich.

Being without a sine plate would be impossible for the grinding jobs we do, lol!

Rich,

Good job , looks perfect , but , you need hardened washers under the screw on the slotted brackets.
I have one very similar.

So right Ed.
Just happen to pick up another one made by Suburban the other day. It's smaller ( 4" square ),
never been used, felt quilty for what i paid for it as i knew what they cost. Another paper weight in
the drawer!
