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.

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@isaacandpatigreene8625]

10/10!! Very well done!! Love your latest add to the shop (A/C)... and the sine plate is stupendous. Keep it up!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 thank you very much! no way I could have made it though the year without the AC... or the sine plate haha

[@bDwS27]

I love this channel, the builds are so engaging and interesting time flies by so fast ! And beautiful work as always!

[@InheritanceMachining]

thank you!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 Awesome!! Thank you and will do!

[@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!

[@andreatatini8570]

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

[@dermozart80]

ahhh once again a video of one of the best machining channels on yt! Perfect to start the weekend with

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks as always!

[@ltv..123]

It would probably be called Fred’s plate if Pythagorean hadn’t been so smart……….

[@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.

[@nicstroud]

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

[@bdude92]

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

[@InheritanceMachining]

I'll take that! Thanks!

[@imaginaryparsnip]

I think you should do more of your own sound effects randomly just to confuse new people, like pick a specific tool that you only will do sound effects for but its different each time, heheheh

[@Sean_XT]

10:55 less at risk of heat induced stupidity, doesn't reduce the chance of regular stupidity, just reduces the compounding effects

[@cameronmccreary4758]

I hate to remind you but working with 4140 steel when you go into the heat treatment of it; it's going to warp so leave some oversize to work with.

[@9speedbird]

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.

[@fresita_jugosa]

In no time this channel has become my second favourite machining youtube thing. Sorry, the first one is and always will be This Old Tony :P You're doing great! Congratulations :D

[@InheritanceMachining]

I will gladly take second place to ToT. Thank you very much!

[@JayRussellDuramax]

Hi, my name is Jay, and I have a problem: I'm addicted to precision grinding. Haha! Surface grinding is something that I don't have much experience with, but, what experience I do have was tremendously satisfying. Great video! I'm looking forward to the next part.

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 I'm addicted too. I tend to loose track of time in front of the grinder. Thanks, man!

[@Thought_Criminal_666]

Aggressively taking a half thou (.0005)? I rip fifty thou (.050) off tool steel (m42 & m48) daily... 😂

[@banditaviation1924]

Good for you bro

[@terrybrower3437]

"Good Enough?" Meets specs, looks good, everybody's happy- Good Enough!

[@fna-wrightengineering]

Amazing work as usual, Brandon. Impeccable fit and finish. Machining that step into the rest pin is super clever! Looking forward to seeing this tool completed.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you sir! I won't take credit for the rest pin step as I think that's a pretty common feature on sine plates. I spent a good deal of time looking at the old google images haha

[@joshwhite6947]

WooooHooooo. Love ur channel. Thanks for your contribution and the time you spent. Good job

[@InheritanceMachining]

thanks! And thanks for watching!

[@brandonthebuildertx]

Well done, fellow Brandon. Some day I hope to get my story-telling and cinematic set work on your level, haha.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Ah yes, my alter-ego... Woodworking Brandon 😂 Thanks a lot, man!

[@NathanealGovender]

Amazing. Enjoyed the sound effects

[@InheritanceMachining]

haha thanks!

[@NathanealGovender]

@@InheritanceMachining keep up the good work. Enjoying your videos

[@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!

[@wonderbucket1242]

I watched for 5 minutes hoping for an explanation of what a "sine plate" is and then gave up and left.

[@thelongestnameinthecomment9677]

have you ever heard of sine and cosine

[@fratink]

I noticed in one shot it looks like your carbide end mill is creating sparks. I was told by a machinist that allowing your cutting chips to get that hot will chip and damage the carbide after I had done some finishing with a fly cutter. Have you noticed anything similar? I'm curious is that's actually a problem for carbide or if I perhaps misunderstood him.

[@InheritanceMachining]

You saw right. I've notice this will happen more and more if the carbide is dull and my guess is that the carbide gets dull from improper speeds and feeds. I rotated the inserts in the middle of one of the setups and the sparks went away for the same cutting rates. Seem to be that once you see the sparks, it's too late.

[@fratink]

@@InheritanceMachining Oh, very interesting! That's good to know. When I had done that I definitely didn't calculate the speeds and feeds, but it was also student tooling at my university so it was already probably in rough shape. I"ll have to be more careful next time just to make sure.

[@alankeith7866]

Great video!! The sound effects were spot on!!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 Thanks!

[@jmtx.]

Thanks for sharing your awesome work! Looking forward to seeing the entire sine plate assembly doing its thing!

[@InheritanceMachining]

thanks! You and me both!

[@deckum23]

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.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! Even those few tenths are eating at me a bit. I need to stop using that indicator for everything 😂

[@charlvanniekerk8009]

once again an incredible video! Your eye for design and precision is what draws me to your channel. Its inspiring to see this quality of work and will definitely influence my standards for my own future projects. I will be patiently waiting for the 24th of June and cannot wait to see what other previously foreshadowed projects you have ahead!

[@InheritanceMachining]

That is very kind! The perfectionism is a blessing and a curse haha Thanks for the support!

[@Handskemager]

You know what, all these side projects just go to show that stuff happens in real life xD Love the A/C install sound effects btw! Top quality.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Exactly! I might have to take up foley artistry ;)

[@gerardhughes]

Excellent documentary filmmaking. Very good storytelling, and camera work all combined with excellent editing.

[@InheritanceMachining]

thank you very much!

[@ryansmith209]

Your camera mic should go out more often. Hilarious sound effects!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Lol it’s bound to happen again!

[@lunawolve]

Holy shit I actually spit out my drink when I heard the sound effects. That was so unexpected from the otherwise impeccable sound design on every episode LOL 11/10, loved it

[@lilianvallon9376]

Hi man! Good as always, precision stuff nicely made. I have a speciale measure tool that could be really interesting to you to make. I use it quit a lot on one of the vertical lathe that i work on. It is a certain type of adjustable double touches inside measuring that work with a comparator. I have details photos of it and i can even make you an assembly plan for you to work with. if whenever you wanna talk about it i'm op, or even show you some real cool big conventional machine that i work with! have nice day from france

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! I'd love to see what you are talking about and the big machinery you work with. Shoot me an email!

[@Stephen1455]

Did lots of manual grinding as a Gaugemaker, surface/cylindrical, jig. Would highly recommend blocking tall parts on surface grinder with perfectly square 1"x2"x3" blocks? or even the bigger ones 2"x4"x6", or precision angle plates? Herman Schmidt the best there is! For the tall ends it may have been possible to clamp to a precision angle plate, tram in and grind?

[@kenny5174]

I say Good Job, and your Grandfather is proudly watching!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@AlexRednitz]

10:24 Wait a second. Are the vertical stands of the walls milled and chamfered? That's some high standard. From what I see in construction nowadays, they don't usually chamfer the planks even when building houses. Let alone garages or workshops. To say more, they often build from hairy scary wet wood right off the saw and let it dry, and warp somewhen after. 'Natural moisture' as it's called. Damn. I should double check everything if I ever gonna build myself a hut.

[@HuFlungDung2]

That tight hinge design is ripe for seizing up. Fully hardened steel parts don't have this problem too much, but your average guy is better to use dissimilar metals. For example, steel and aluminum bronze (which is quite a tough material, not like using brass or some soft shit). I cringed when after you went to all that work to make the block nice and square and parallel, you then screwed it all by grinding the bottom with the pins as a reference. That's not perfectionism. You should have remachined the v ways, or better, scrape in what you had. It would have been a minuscule error to correct by scraping or lapping. In real life machining, surface appearance of a soft material is kind of irrelevant if the function is met. Soft materials get scratched SO EASILY in a machine shop environment. Then you're afraid to use the damn thing you built for fear of scratching it. Tools are there to be used, not to be admired as keepsakes.

[@bookworm8415]

Ok. Those tool noises should just be a series of shorts. Like. Do your videos without explanation, 30 second shorts, with you making noises, ending with a 💯 perfect part at the end.

[@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.

[@forthrightnight]

If you like this guy you will probably like Rainfall Projects. Interesting projects shown on relaxing videos. Make sure to check out his library.

Never, EVER Grind soft metals in a grinder if you don't have the correct wheel. Are you looking to blow your face off?!?!?

[@sebastienh1100]

I’d be curious to know which % of viewers are male and which female. And how much of this figure is driven by genetics (versus education). I guess both figures are very high, in spite of all the gender theories of our new religion.

[@galileo_rs]

Not a machinist but one parallel with other technical hobbies: You spend more time building the tools that expand on the art. BTW, I have the same problem as you (voiced in another video): exuberant amount of time is spent on small tasks that appeared simple at first.

[@robbob601]

You say the plates are 4140 but the purple paint on the end tells me A-6? For what you or I would use this for it doesn't matter but just checking?

[@DEVELHOPP]

"if i can measure it, then you did it wrong" Saying of my trainer in the first year of apprenticeship. My nickname was junk aa the good old days

[@Yogi_Bear69]

I'm the same way with wanting perfect parts except that I'm a Production CNC Machinist at a job shop. It's not always profitable to get those last few thou out of the part, or to remove blends when you have to rotate parts between operations. I do what I can without stopping the machine but man it really gets to me.

[@tonyfnd]

Love the "added " sound effects. Haha Brilliant

[@InheritanceMachining]

Gotta work with what I'm given 😂

[@punishr36]

Why wouldn't you harden the details? The pins that locate and generate resistance lifting and lowering the plate will gall. Also you could mill a relief pocket in the bottom face to reduce all that contact area and cross holes to reduce weight in both plates. Cheers.

[@Terrakinetic]

I didn't watch part 2 yet, but I am already getting "perfectly level" vibes ala' "Rick and Morty."

[@DEtchells]

Another great production. (Can machining videos be soothing? I think yours are 😁) Interesting about using the grinder itself to true-up the magnetic chuck. I don’t have a surface grinder yet, but maybe someday… => BTW, you should make KBC Tools’ URL a live link in the description to make it easier for viewers to visit them.

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 thanks! What I did on the SG is pretty common practice. When you get one it’s probably best to be the first thing you do. I don’t know why I didn’t think to add their link. Great idea!

[@ObservationofLimits]

Brave man. I've never seen someone install a window ac with the catch lip on the outside 😂 Looks very clean. Just hope you check those screws often so vibration from the compressor doesn't work them loose over time.

[@tornagawn]

Arghhh….still using Imperial measurements? 🤦‍♂️ Why America, why???

[@trevoradams8675]

I've heard when doing the bottom of the chuck face to not use the magnet. Because if the top of the chuck is saddled from use it will deform the bottom. Better to use the clamps keep it from moving. Then when doing the top of the chuck activate the magnet to create the condition for which the chuck will be used. Might be helpful. :)

watching your videos not in order is kinda funny, because i will see something that you have made a part for in a future video.

[@kurokami5964]

tbh, these precision tools might be better to be made in Invar, tho there maybe is a reason(outside of price) why its not used but really at least steel, aluminium seem weak to me

[@mylesdownham1819]
