Making a Sine Plate (Part 1) || INHERITANCE MACHINING

[@InheritanceMachining]

BUT WHAT IS A SINE PLATE? I'm getting this question a lot, and while I do go into detail in the second build video, I'll explain here briefly. It's it's a tool for setting parts at very very precise angles. Precision gauge blocks are placed under the floating pin which tilts the plate. The trigonometric SINE function is used to figure out how tall the gauge blocks need to be to hit the target angle.

[@theobserver9131]

That is super cool! Finding the answer to that question is the whole reason I came here to this video! Now that you told me what it is, I want to see how you make one!

[@theobserver9131]

Abstract thought, and the desire and ability to solve complex problems is one of the few redeeming qualities of the human race. Stuff like this makes me happy.

[@Serostern]

@@theobserver9131 This Old Tony has a great video on sine bars.

[@EthanolTailor]

I think the problem was youtube is sending your vid to randos not necessarily into hardcore machining (like me), but are into general maker, math, and science youtube, these people just saw the title and wanted to know what the fuck a sine block is and how u use it (like me). I sub to people like 3 Blue 1 Brown and such but also people like Colin Furze. Just a quick free sample size 1 SEO survey for you, maybe something changed recently? also loved the explanation comment, was quick precise (much like the block) and to the point. Answered my question perfectly!

[@preppen78]

yea, I was wondering if I'd be able to figure it out by the end of the video, but it's kind of tough. Interesting video still

[@colinfurze]

Love seeing stuff fresh out the surface grinder. Amazing content as usual.

[@InheritanceMachining]

It's one of the most satisfying processes in the shop for sure. I use it every chance I get 😂 thanks again!

[@rstone286]

Hey, Colin! Completely agree. Good to see you over here. 😁

[@eraybaykal8980]

Love both you guys’ videos!!!

[@TheRealKimKitsuragi]

its colin! bro, your kids are so lucky :) also, youre the reason i got so interested in engineering! i plan to major in engineering when i ho to college next year 😁 youre one of my heroes :>

[@Ashton-and-Everything]

Yo what's up Colin! Very welcome surprise to see you here!

[@keithbowman7650]

I almost choked on my drink when I heard how accurately you reproduced the missing sound effects. You have a talent you haven't shown us before. Maybe worth a second channel?

[@paulhuang962]

I think the "clicks" need some work, but other than that I fully agree.🤣

[@rquaidpro]

I had to watch it twice because I missed them the first time. Spot on.

[@LaraCroftCP]

As always, i came for the machining but stayed for the humor and passion.

[@dathaniel9403]

Do you have any idea what you’ve done? Here you are, making all these amazing videos, and after a night of binge-watching literally all of them, now I realize I’ll have to probably wait WEEKS for another video. It’s not fair. But seriously, great work. I’m a mechanical engineer and you’re a way better machinist than I am. Your grandfather would be proud that you’re carrying on in his place.

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 only 263 hours until the next upload! Thanks a bunch!

[@Ronnaferd]

I'm almost done watching them all in a weekend! 🤣😭 How will I survive?

[@vincemanley3911]

Absolutely cracked me up when you did your own sound effects! Beautiful work, I have been binging all the episodes.

[@bdude92]

I can see you becoming one of the greats like This Old Tony and Abom

[@InheritanceMachining]

I'll take that! Thanks!

[@johnnyb362]

I love it when a company like KBC supports creators in the industry they serve. It’s one thing for a business to give money to get their name out there but you just know that someone at that company found these videos and showed them to someone else and the next thing you know someone with the power to send some tools spent a week binge watching and now they just want to see the stuff they sell used on their new favorite show.

[@adamgardiner5869]

Not being fluent in either machinist or engineering I have no idea what you are saying for 99% of this video...yet still I watch, endlessly fascinated.

[@LaraCroftCP]

It was similar with me, althrought im a machinist and craftswoman im german so i had to learn a ton of words to be able to follow Brandon. But it is absolutely worth it.

[@NatePerdomo]

I’m a musician and have no idea what any of this stuff is but it’s amazing. Thank you for sharing your passion and knowledge with the world.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Really glad you liked it! Thanks for the support

[@nicstroud]

Another awesome project. On to part two. This Old Tony has a good sine bar video as well

[@andreatatini8570]

came here for the machining and engineering, but honestly stayed for the sound effects. keep it up!!

[@BeardMan01]

I love my sine block. I made one and a carbide tipped scribe when I was about 12 at the family machine shop. Those were my first "projects" that my uncle had me do on my own. After that, we made a Hit and Miss engine using old school literature. I seriously miss that old machine shop.

[@mephiztophelezemephiztophe31]

i'm about to start an apprenticeship as a Toolmaker at age 48. I am loving your videos, very instructive and full of useful advice for a newcomer to the Art such as myself. Thanks mate! Love your work.

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's awesome! Glad I can help!

[@BruceBoschek]

If I had inherited a shop like this I would do everything exactly the way you are doing it...except I would have to go back to school for a few engineering degrees. Like everyone else here I am delighted at your content and your presentation. Thanks so much for all of your efforts to share your expertise, learning and experience.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Much appreciated!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you all for watching! Tune in June 24th at 10AM EST for the conclusion of this project, and possibly, hopefully, just maybe the conclusion of the collet blocks project as well!

[@alairlibreinsfreie5785]

possibly, hopefully, just maybe... : good enough for me...

[@kurtfattig9370]

Great video. I've gone back and watched all your videos now. I really enjoy how you explain what you're learning along the way. This one made me giggle with those "inserted" sound effects! Great entertainment for me!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you! Glad you are liking the videos and my shenanigans!

[@joetrenshaw5904]

It is amazing to see all this come together I'm an EE but I just took a GD&T course this year and I've always been intrigued by machine shops. I dont have a grandfather to inherit one from so for now I'm living vicariously through you. I love everything about the channel!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Expanding into ME? I'll be here until you can get your own shop! Thanks!

[@scottphilips8514]

Even though you warned me, I wasn’t prepared for the mitre saw sound effect 😂😂😂😂

[@gabrielnorton6454]

Came up in my suggested 2 days ago and I've finished your library already. Love the videos and the legacy you're extending on. Keep 'em coming!

😁 Awesome!! Thank you and will do!

[@lettsgo7442]

Beautiful. I use to do competition grinding in high school. One tip is never shutting off you spindle after dressing.

Thank you and welcome!

[@mikebrown775]

This channel is one of my absolute favorites. I am not a machinist but am learning and taking classes. I like the information and way the channel is shot. Thank you for all the excellent content.

[@InheritanceMachining]

My pleasure!

[@mikebrown775]

@@InheritanceMachining Based on some of your videos I gathered you have some formal education (or a lot) as a machinist. What's your background? I would love to learn more but I'm confused as where to really start.

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@mikebrown775 Nope no formal machining education. I grew up with these machines and learned from my grandfather then went to college for engineering. If you're looking to get into it for a hobby I've seen many other channels do videos on that exact topic. BlondieHacks comes to mind for that. If your looking to get into it as a trade, then I believe the normal path is through apprenticeship.

[@mikebrown775]

@@InheritanceMachining thank you for the reply. I sent your channel to my father in law who has been a machinist for 35ish years. He worked in industrial applications for a long time but now works for a 1 of 1 specially production job. He was very impressed with your finish product, skills and attention in drafting.

[@JM-yp8du]

Fascinating to see the top plate bow under the force of the mag chuck. You'd think a piece of metal that thick would be able to resist bowing by such a small amount, but apparently not. Given me a new appreciation for precision machining and material science!

[@ReneeSullivanTPN]

Absolutely love your videos. Have watched every single one from the beginning. Thank you for sharing this dying art with the world. I never knew how enjoyable watching machining can be. Thanks to you I'm enjoying other people machining things as well. Keep up the great work. Not only would your grand dad be proud of you, you're keeping his trade alive! That's beyond valuable.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you, Renee! I’m glad even a non-machinist like yourself can enjoy them as well! There are a ton of people still playing around in this old trade, but I’m glad I can share my perspective of things with everyone. Thanks again!

Your videos are extremely satisfying and relaxing. My research is focused on the annealing of cold-rolled steels, so anything with steel gets me excited haha.

[@theobserver9131]

I am here because I have no idea what a sine plate is. I love to learn about things I've never heard of!

[@suffocated]

Bro, this is so interesting. How to measure and obtain flatness. Machining is so complex. Feels like a constant battle for precision

[@StuartSanborn]

as someone who can't cut a straight line watching dedication to precision is awesome.

[@ronbuckner8179]

i think the best part of your program is the attention you pay to perfection, and your admitted lack of ability to be perfect. A "nice finish" seems to make it all better.

[@chadgdry3938]

that was fun to watch, your voice-over made it worth watching.

[@CurtisGurley]

Great content. I have said it before and I'm sure I will again. This is speaking from a family man perspective. I am certain your Grandfather would be so very proud, even more so when you exceed his capabilities.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you very much! I don't think I ever saw him in his machine "prime" so I may never know when that times comes. Probably for the best

[@BigBenAdv]

Very nice.. Managed to figure it out only because I was a combat engineer surveyor during my service and we were trained to use range finders and an abney level (a combination of a spirit level, translucent mirrors, protractor, and viewing tube) to determine elevation of distant terrain (e.g. top of hills/ mountains). Basically the same function but you have the known angle (abney level) and length of hypotenuse (range finder to top of the target) and resolve for the height (opposite side). The same concept is used for measuring ground sinking/ shifting problems etc. If you see construction workers on two ends with one looking through what appears to be a telescope on a tripod, and the other holding a ruler vertically, they're measuring the difference in height, angle, and distance between points to determine if the ground has shifted or sunk. We were trained to do this manually (lots of trigonometry) but these days all of these equipment are automated - e.g. We had to manually measure the distance to ground from the scope, and use spirit levels to plumb but the modern equipment does all of that automatically and spits out the calculations on its own.

Great to see your channel growing and great to see a couple tenths as a good precision part, I made myself a grinding vise recently and I was happy to see 2 tenths when I checked it, but hey, I made it mostly on a wire edm machine so it's not hard to get precise.

[@ZGreason]

Great video, If you haven't thought of it already, i would recommend a small piece of plastic shim card placed between the FWD Cylinder and the base plate. This is what we did at one of my previous jobs to keep any ding/wear marks from forming and throwing off any measurements.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! Off camera I've been using a piece of paper but I like your idea of plastic better.

[@mikewithrow2271]

I remember making my first five inch sine bar way back in 96 during my last year of my apprenticeship. Lol and a bell center punch for finding center on round stock. Learned a neat trick from no surprise an old dude that knew every bit of backlash on every machine in the shop like the back of his hand. Working in a cutter grind Dept for several years I feel your pain when it comes to grinding. I've had some set-ups that have drove me nuts to accomplish without seriously screwing up.

[@InheritanceMachining]

That’s great! I do wish I was in a regular shop at times so I could learn more from experience machinist rather than make ALL the mistakes. But I guess the lessons learned the ward way stick better

[@northrocks]

Sound effects was a good touch^^

[@charlvanniekerk8009]

I really wish I would’ve had your videos to watch in high school they are very inspiring. I find myself thinking about how I can incorporate everything I’ve learned from you in these videos to my every day life running my boring mill. Sometimes with something so big the little details get lost. It was a nice reminder to see someone going through the basics again. Thank you sir keep up the great work.

[@InheritanceMachining]

haha more to come don't worry! I appreciate your kind words though. In many ways I'm starting with the basics because I need to for me. I'm glad even an experience machinist like yourself finds this all enjoyable!

[@BedroomMachinist]

If you want to avoid scratches on your fresh ground surface, turn your mag off for a bit, and use an air hose around the edges of the parts to break the surface tension, if you are lifting and blowing with the air hose the part should pop right off without sliding, just made a 9×7" aluminum plate flat within .0001 and no scratches on either side, not that that was nessisary just like you I am a perfectionist, great work and love the plate you made ♡

[@FlavioTrillo]

Never having so much as touched a lathe or even seen one in real life, it‘s amazing to me how glued I am to your videos. They are expertly shot and edited, very soothing to watch and often hilarious. I also went through almost your entire back catalogue before figuring out that „a tenth“ is not, in fact, 0.1 inches but more likely 0.0001 as in „a ten thousandth“. I hope that‘s correct, it has made things very confusing up until now 😅 best regards from the metric side of the world!
