On this subject of "wedge plates" for mounting a press at an angle from its normal position, NVCurmudgeon and myself were discussing the subject during his latest visit here. He recently had such a block made from hardwood, and it works fine.

It seems to us that it would be simple to CAST a wedge plate from bullet alloy, just by obtaining a suitable loaf pan or other proper-size receptacle.... maybe a short piece of wide steel channel? Block the "mould" up at the desired angle, and pour in the alloy to the required depth. Drill the appropriate holes, and mount the press.

Since all the stress will be straight up-and-down along the line of the mounting bolts, the softness of the alloy won't matter.... all it will be is a spacer.
