I guess you can have your work piece clamped at an angle to get an angle whole in it on a drill press but I think there's other ways to skin that cat.
 
yea i was thinking 40 holes in a wheel rim with 5 different directions and angles for the spokes however its probably easier to just drill holes a little over size and angle the spoke that way........................its just not correct.
 
MANY years ago right after I bought my mini table top mill, someone asked the stupid question of "What are you planning to do with it?".
My replay was: "It isn't what I am planning, it is what it ALLOWS ME TO PLAN." That has been the case so many times since then that I can't even count.
Hopefully the new machine will be more of the same. (once I learn how to program it)

So, is it something you would really use? Is it something that you would tend to reach for more often than not if it was sitting in reach. It is something that I find "tempting", but I HAVE a pretty beefy sine vice that I have had for over 20 years, it will do what your device would and I reach for it fairly often. The new fractal vice I got is sitting front and center on my work space and it is going to be getting a LOT of use as time goes on. I added shims to allow the head to "just barely move freely" and removed the cross bar in the knob. It was a good buy.
