Machining Round Stock to Square -- A Time Saving Technique !!!

Occasionally it saves time to use the waste material before you remove it. Creating a grip rail reduces the number of times you need to reposition your part in the vise, and is a useful way to save time. Take a Look !!

Hey Joe, your super troll has called this video a hoax and claimed it has over 70 operations as shown. I watched it a bunch of times and can't see where that number comes from. Care to comment?

[@joepie221]

With pleasure. First, super trolls, regular trolls, average trolls, below average trolls, or the lowest life forms online....Maggots, don't deserve a reply. Or any type of attention for that matter. I'm not sure what universe my secret admirer is living in, but 70 operations is a bit exaggerated. Perhaps its an unconscious demonstration of their inability to count. Who knows? I had actually forgotten about my maggot admirer, but do appreciate them watching my channel. Thanks for the heads up. I needed a laugh. By the way, to anyone reading this.....if anybody can count 70 operations to complete this demo part, please let me know how you arrived at that number.

If your stock is longer, you can turn a reduced diameter (inscribed circle to the finished square) on one end so you just touch this diameter region when the square is finished. If the finished piece is a rectangle, turn 2 diameters, each determining 2 opposite sides. Saves trig, saves a lot is you have no readout.

[@Philippians4vs4-8]

Hey Joe, i am a certified electronics technician holding a degree in Electronics Engineering Technology. In my field, it is a must to know trig functions. We use the sine of 45 deg. Very often, because the rms value (voltage in your shop) is .70711 x peak. However, i have always been interested in machining and spent as much time as possible in the shop with some very good machinests. Since retiring, i now spend a lot of time in my small home shop working with my mini lathe and mini milling machine. Thank you for all your great info. I use it often and you are truly a blessing to me.

a² + b² = c² assuming c=1 and a=b this becomes 2*a² = 1 which can be rewritten as a² = 1/2 and finally a = sqrt(1/2) = 0.7071

[@PaulSteMarie]

Hint: Pythagorean theorem. The magic factor is 1/√2. 30°, 45°, and 60° angles all have simple formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent, and it's worthwhile committing them to memory. They were pounded into me in 8th and 9th grade and stick ever since. tan 45° = 1 sin 45° = cos 45° = 1/√2 sin 30° = cos 60° = ½ cos 30° = sin 60° = √3/2 tan 30° = 1/√3 tan 60° = √3

[@pcsmachineworks]

Been using this method for a number of years now. It actually came about as a result of the cost of square shaped stock in some of the harder materials I generally work with being needed in larger sizes. Being that most of my work is in a larger 50 taper machine, I will also go as far as dovetailing the grip rail in heavier pieces (500-800 pound) to make sure they stay put. I even go as far as cutting the grip rail in the 12 foot lengths before they go in the rack on certain materials just so they are ready to go when needed. Glad to see someone else had the same idea and is able to share it with others!

[@joepie221]

I've seen the dovetail grip rail used with success on some very heavy stock. It has great grip integrity.

I’ve also seen some guys divide the diameter by the square root of 2 ( 1.414 ). Love your channel, thanks for all you do!!

[@davemould4638]

It's pythagorus - hypotonus squared equals sum of the squares of the other two sides. Using the diagram shown near the start of the vid, the diameter of the stock is the hypotonus, and each side of the required square bar will be the other two sides. Make each side equal 1 unit, then the diameter will be the square root of 1 squared + 1 squared units. Which equals the square root of 2 = approx (1.414) So dividing the diameter by 1.414 will give you the size of each side of the square. Or instead of dividing, multiply by the reciprocal of 1.414 (mathematicall the same operation) which is 0.707. Or you can multiply by either the cos or sin of 45 degrees (both are .707, because both adjacent and opposite sides are the same length, and cos and sin of 45 deg can also be derived by pythagorus in the same way).

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

[@waynefitch990]

Hope you have a speedy recovery

[@asdf35750]

In your diagram, the diameter of the stock is also the hypotenuse of the triangle. If you assume the length of the sides are 1 unit (inch, mm, mile, furlong - doesn't matter), then the length of the hypotenuse is the square root of the sum of the squares of the sides - 1 squared is 1, so the hypotenuse is the square root of 2, or roughly 1.41428 units long. Flipping this on its head, if the hypotenuse is 1 unit long, the sum of the squares of the sides is 1. The square root of 1 is 1, so the squares of the sides are each 1/2 unit long. This means that the sides are the square root of 1/2, or 0.70711

[@goober650NX]

👌

[@joepie221]

Correct. The hypotenuse will always be the round stock diameter. Also, There are several ways to calculate the max square size. I though just cutting to the end and presenting the most useful value would be the easiest to remember.

[@jonathantaylor2584]

The trick to finding the largest square is that a 45-45-90 degree triangle has a known relationship between the hypotenuse and the two identical legs. The hypotenuse is the length of a leg times the square root of 2. So by using the diameter as your hypotenuse you just have to solve for a leg and that's where you can either divide by the square root of 2 or multiply by .70711 (relationship/ratio between a leg and the hypotenuse). I hope someone finds this explanation of the math behind this useful.

That works, in my head it was multiply by sqrt(0.5) which also gives the same answer.😊

Love your teaching boot camps, Joe. Learned so much from you over the years. Saw you at 2019 bash but did not get a chance to visit with you.

“Boot camp” may be a good choice of words given your injury!

Love it.
