Use Profile of a Surface 
                  because it Is Easy to Measure  
                  This is the third Tip in a series 
                  intended to illustrate how simple measuring profile of a 
                  surface can be. The angled surface is a little more difficult 
                  to measure since it is on an angle other than 0° or 90°. Once 
                  again, though, it isn't because profile is being used, it is 
                  because the surface is inclined. The inspector will have to do 
                  a little trig. The part is positioned and aligned on the 
                  sinebar relative to the datum features. It is helpful to place 
                  a gage pin on the sinebar a known distance from datum axis 
                  B.

                         Although it can be 
                        calculated, I usually use an inexpensive 2D CAD program 
                        to easily find the distance from the top of the dowel 
                        pin to the surface to be measured. If you prefer doing 
                        the trig, here is the math:  |
