Restoring an Angle Plate || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Welcome back to the machine shop! This video I’ll be doing a little tool restoration and bringing life back to this rusty old cast iron tool makers angle plate. Of course this will be much much more than just a rust removal job. This is a precision tool so I need it to be perfectly square as well. We’ll spend a lot of time at the surface plate with the surface gauge and you can count on a ton of precision surface grinding plus some action on the vertical milling machine. Including slot milling, chamfering, and some attempts at fly cutting with a boring head. Along the way I find myself roped into a couple side projects making and repairing some other tooling fixtures to get me there. In the end I take the angle plate for a spin to finally finish off the sine plate build.

Thanks for watching everyone! Be sure to tune in in 2 weeks or turn on the notification bell for the next upload on Friday August 19th!

[@toddsmash]

for Todd's sake can we please have a bloody video of just side projects!!!! In all seriousness...the side projects are a big part of the reason i like watching your videos.

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@toddsmash Did you catch my mill upgrade video? Exclusively side projects. 21 to be exact! And I'll probably be doing more of these

[@The.Talent]

@@InheritanceMachining So it’s quite clear that the problem with all of this equipment that you’ve inherited is rust and corrosion over an extended time. Is there a good method for storing all of these items that doesn’t involve frequent re-application of rust inhibiting oil and wrapping in wax paper? Or is that the standard? I guess you could also blue the parts but that comes with it’s own challenges and also isn’t perfect long term. I’m not a machinist. Like you, I’m a mechanical engineer, but I do love this stuff!

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@The.Talent I can’t really speak from experience here. But I can say that my shop has a dehumidifier running non stop where the shop these came from had poor climate control and also was abandoned without and climate control for 2 years. My hope is that frequent use, oil, and a dry shop will cover me

[@toddsmash]

@@InheritanceMachining I did. The work you did on it was awesome! I was telling my missus about your shop and ideas I had for mine. I'm just being a bit selfish. When I see that counter pop up on screen it makes laugh. Gonna be a good content!

[@FlaminChicken231]

it always amazes me to think, that under all of those years of rusting, just a few thou under the surface lays a perfectly good tool fit to be used for future generations. I'm a woodworker, not a machinist, but to an extent, the same holds true for wood. I've used old barn wood that had probably been sitting in the same place for over 50 years, and after the first layer of dirt and age had been removed, you'd never be able to tell just how mangy a piece really was before you put your hands on it. every time I'm down in my woodshop, I get to uncover the beauty of the wood underneath so many imperfections, and its truly the reason i keep doing what i do. watching videos like this only reinforces that idea in me.

[@judelarkin2883]

Have you ever noticed how much time hobby machinists spend making tools to do machining? It’s an awesome project and I’m green with envy of the shop. I just think it’s a funny observation that some machinists only seem to do machine tool projects.

Great work as always. I appreciate that you explain HOW and WHY you are doing what you're doing. I work in a prototype/job shop and precision is the name of the game.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you! The precision in a lot of my projects isn't always strictly necessary but normally driven by a compulsion to do the best I possibly can.

[@BruceNitroxpro]

@@InheritanceMachining , I KNOW that feeling! We forget how our feelings make us driven to some levels not considered necessary, but totally believable!

[@jikemenkins7098]

10/10 you have some of the best home shop videos on YT right now. I'm glad you got the 246 blocks whipped into shape as well as the angle plate. Both are quite useful to have around, and now yours are in tip-top condition! It was a pleasure watching. FYI my vote is for longer less condensed videos, but I'll take what ever I can get 🙂

[@InheritanceMachining]

Wow thank you! I would 100% make these videos longer if I had the time! I spend just a long at the computer as I do in the shop 😂

If you like this Channel go check out This Old Tony. He is basically the godfather of home shop videos. You can tell Brandon watches his videos by the videos Brandon puts together. And, of course, the godmother BlondiHacks is evident in Brandon's videos too.

I'd love to have the use of a surface grinder. The only time I used one was at the Ford UK Apprentice Training School at Harrold Hill in Essex UK. The workshop I spent most of my working life at Ford Product Development at Dunton was mostly well equipped - my department was Test Instrumentation - but no need for a surface grinder unfortunately, except for our own projects that we were allowed to progress in our own time. My metal working nowadays is done at my local Menz Shed - I have a very well equipped wood shop at home - so I might try and persuade the committee that we need a surface grinder.
