Jig Grinding Low Profile Sine Plate

This video shows jig grinding the low profile sine plate on the surface grinder. Using a Suburban Mastergrind and an NSK Planet 600. We will be using a Continental Diamond Tool resin bound, CBN ID grinding point.

The sound of disappointment when it came up 0.000 2" out of square was clear. You are a true perfectionist. The precision of your tools would be truly wasted on me at the moment. I'd be pleased holding 0.001" though I love all the attention to detail you and Robin, Stefan put into fixturing, measuring etc. to accomplish the work you do.

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Hi Barry, The first time using fixtures always come with a learning curve. I already figured out a few things I need to watch for that will make a difference for the better. Steve

[@Ujeb08]

I gotta say you get the most out of your equipment. using your mill as a lathe and now a surface grinder as a jig grinder. Ingenuity!

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Thanks, I like this setup better than most I have done. It is extremely accurate and fast. Steve

[@ROBRENZ]

Really nice work Steve. I think your reply to me on your Keith Rucker square video was meant for this one. ATB, Robin

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

I need to start paying more attention.

[@ROBRENZ]

@@SolidRockMachineShopInc No problem, that wasn't a complaint.

👍 enjoyed as always and appreciate the sharing. These tools will be around for generations and still presice as ever. You're leaving a legacy. Much respect!

Thanks James. Steve

Beautiful work and a joy to watch, as always. CDT is a great company, they've been a customer of ours for years. They made us a CBN profile wheel to finish the o.d. of some very small carbide rolls we made for a wire mill, considering the different surface footages across the profile, everything held up well and did a beautiful job. Nick, the son of the man that started the company in his garage, has taken it to the next level. He's purchased diamond tooling companies from all over the world and brought the work to New Haven, In. The new facility is world class and all the guys are great to deal with. Glad to see a true craftsman using their tooling!!

Hi Aaron, I have been impressed by CDT,s CBN for many decades now. There products keep getting better all the time. Steve

the real gift here is the amazing videos. thanks for taking the time to explain things so clearly

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Thanks Emma. Steve

The fixtures are working well. Grinding all those dimensions within .0001" the first shot is really good I think.

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Thanks Brian. The best benefit is the speed whit accuracy for doing multiple parts. Stevfe

Hi Robert, Just let us know. We are doing 6 more right now. I think one is not spoken for yet but not sure. Steve

I am definitely going to be picking one of these up. I hope they aren't too backordered by the time I can order.

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

We will have to see. Some may cancel because of the pandemic. I will put you on the list if you want. Steve

Hi SuperAWaC, We've had several cancellations on our waiting list so if you're still interested we do have one available right now. Just send us an email at solidrock@nlbchapel .org (no space) and we'll get it set up.

Love your work. Keep teaching! The motor-driven spin fixture is a great idea that I'd like to adopt. What make/model of motor is that (with the integrated speed control)?

Terrific work as usual Steve. Really looking forward to receiving my sine plate. The 3" sine plate would be a great asset in my CNC mill with the 4" vises. Are the vise jaws next?

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Hi Stephen, IT should be going for laser etching early next week. How do you want your name to appear? Was the vise jaws you want for the 4"? We have some almost done for the 6". and a lot of the 45 degree templates, The 30-60 went out to heat treat last Thursday. Steve

.0001 accuracy is crazy to me.

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Once you learn a few tricks and a little practice it's not so bad. Your machine has to be good and your mag chuck has to be very flat.

[@ericrichards5862]

Hello Steve, Thanks for another great video on setups and grinding. BTW do you still have that Jig Grinder and what did you say was wrong with it?

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Yes I do! It grinds a about .0002 per inch in the Y axis. It would need a rescraping job. It still comes in handy if you map the table points there are a few spots it seems to be good. Steve

[@ericrichards5862]

@@SolidRockMachineShopInc So is it the table or the spindle that is out by .0002"?

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

My guess is the part moved with the tightening of hold down screws. I will do a few minor tweaks to improve it next run. Steve

[@ericrichards5862]

@@SolidRockMachineShopInc Hi Steve, About your jig grinder, if it is the table surface I could lightly grind it on my surface grinder to within .0002" if you ship it out to me.

[@SolidRockMachineShopInc]

Hi Eric, I answered the last question from the thumb nail icon of the video and did not realize this was in relation to the Jig Grinder. The table on the Jig grinder is good. There is something else going on with it. A friend thinks it is in the taper adjustment and needs to be tweaked. I haven't tried messing with that yet. Thank for the generous offer though. What size grinder do you have?
