Newbould Wireone Tilt and Elevation Attachment

With this attachment set, you can tilt the Newbould Wireone two-gear head in 15 degree increments, and adjust the center height of the indexing head from zero to six inches above the lower wire guide.

Many parts can be manipulated so that various surfaces can be machined on different angular setups without the need to change holders. This normally reduces accumulated error.

Infinite Tilt Angles are obtained via the "lockplate" which is a standard part of the Tilt Package
