Question

A finished, tapered workpiece has an included angle of 70 degrees. If the taper is made with the compound, how many degrees should the setting be on the swivel base?

a) 20 degrees
b) 35 degrees
c) 70 degrees
d) 140 degrees

Answer 1

The setting on the swivel base should be 35 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a finished, tapered workpiece has an included angle of 70 degrees and the taper is made with the compound, the setting on the swivel base should be half of the included angle.

Therefore, the setting on the swivel base should be 35 degrees.
