Oops! I meant of inclination angle, not angle of dip or angle of tilt. Sorry. :-(
Non-ProZ.com Feb 21, 2004:
I had already checked Eurodicautom As to angle of dip and angle of tilt, I suspect that glass-making is very different from lens grinding (generating). Can anyone provide examples in an optics context of angle of dip or angle of tilt?

angle of inclination

Aren't we talking about the "angle of inclination" of the grindstone, as it is applied to the lens to be ground? I can't think of a better way of putting it - although of course the suggestions already posted could be equally valid depending on the textual context. But to a simple engineer, this what I would use...
