It's just 10* on one side, a wedge really.

I think I figured it out. If I tilt the head on the mill 30*, set the turn
fin up with it's LE parallel to the table then tilt it 10* in the "y"
direction, it should work if I cut in the "x" or longitudinal direction.

I'll post a pic. when I get to it tomorrow or Monday...

Now I've got a perfectly flat 10 degree wedge, just what I wanted! :)

Thanks for the help!
