There is a way to square up a block with 7 cuts. Use the dial indicator to square the head, table, and vise once. When the static jaw is know to be true use your method of cutting for the first 4 faces. The 5th face is purposely moved out of square between the jaws, then skim cut that face. Flip the block 180 to face #6 and rotate the block 90 degrees in Zed. Now side #6 is square in both directions. Turn the block 180 again and re-cut side #5. You now have a block that is as square as your vise will allow. As a Tool Maker for over 30 years, I've used this method a thousand times over with predicable results, but most importantly, it's fast and easy! Keep up the good work Tony.

For more specialised machines, non-linearity is common, but our curriculum is not teaching us anything about dealing with those problems.

Also the zero vector is orthogonal to all vectors, maybe even itself? But yet it has no length and so no direction. So there is that :P Two vectors being orthogonal means their dot product is zero.

We then call a set X in V of vectors orthogonal if for all vectors in X the following holds: [x_i, x_j] = 0 whereas i =/ j and i,j € I (with I being the Index set of len(X)). If for all vectors of X, Sqrt( [x_i,x_i] ) = 1 holds, we call the set a set of orthonormal vectors.

I would start with the largest side because cutting it will apply the most force against your fixture that you'll see in the entire operation. Getting the hardest cut out of the way first makes sense to me for three reasons; 1. Applying force to a part will *always* cause it to deflect by at least a tiny amount. Getting the highest force cut done first, before you have more than one datum, means every other feature can be kept just that much more square in the proceeding operations. 2. If the other sides are unfinished, then you don't need to worry about marring their faces by clamping down extra hard in the fixture. 3. *IF* something goes wrong and your part gets yanked out, this is the most likely time for it to happen, so you waste the least time with starting over if you demo the job on the first operation.
@johncoops68973 жыл бұрын

Please understand that the object that you see and the subject of the video are not one in the same. The subject matter is square, and the object shown is a cube. What may be obvious to some, seems to be overlooked by many, and that is the difference between the two. A square is not a cube, but a cube is square. A square is a shape, and limited to two dimensions. A cube is an object, existing in three (or more) dimensions. A true cube, inherently, consists of six square faces and, parallel to these faces, a square cross-section. The main point being, anything can be square, or squared, but only a cube is both. The shape must not be confused with the object. What it really all comes down to is... Great video, another one of many!

Tom Lipton's book Sink or Swim vol.2 demonstrates how to square any shape in 7 passes! Most of this video is identical to the book, however, the big difference he tells you that 'you must recut the first side' from the outset of the instruction. I already knew it took 7 passes so when you said 6 I was intrigued as to where you would run afoul! Besides, Tony, you always make very entertaining videos and I always learn something! Keep up the great work and "Thanks!".

In college, we used Bridgeports that had both tilt AND nod. To tram the heads on them, we used something the school provided called a tramming plate, which was just a piece of mild steel plate about 5 x 5 x 3/4 that had been hardened and precision ground on its widest faces. We used our dial test indicators mounted on universal dovetails in a 1/4 collet chuck to touch off on the plate. Then we spun the mill around by hand and indicated to within .001 on the tilt and the nod. I've done it so many times that I dream about it.

Nawww, this is clearly a trick question - but it's not fooling me! That shape was definitely an isosceles trapeze, sawed in half vertically, with one side welded back on upside-down. It's a good weld, but I can still just barely make out the seam...

techincally it would be a parallelepiped, cause it's 3d (literally the only reason i know of it's existence is because i took extra math in high school)

I managed to resist till the end of the video, but it was painfully obvious from the onset. But the use for the block.... I should be dead from how hard I wanted to laugh...

I have an 180 pound chinese machine (HBM16) and an chinese vise with no block down system. I usually freak out with an 0,05 cent error (.002"). I cannot believe you could easily have .003 error with that expensive stuff. 0,000 is utopistic.

Its cause everything about his method is wrong. Its sad that people are learning from this. When he puts the block on 1 parallel and taps with hammer.. Right there I can tell he has no clue. Proof is when hes shimming to square a block. My god

I'm trying to understand why tapping the block down into the vice didn't cause the non-square parts to fall off, as per previous videos. Was it incorrect technique, or were you holding back your ninja methods for a future video for advanced squaring?

I'm not sure, but I think this might be an aluminum block, and that technique doesn't work on aluminum.

Technically the bottom part of the vice is exerting a force on the Block exerting Force equal and opposite to the force of gravity. In other words the force that gravity plays on the Block, is gravity x mass, is being exerted back on the Block by the bottom device as otherwise it would float and or it would fall.

If I attempted this level of accuracy, 4 hours later I’d hand you a 1 inch cube which is probably still not square. Much respect for what you do.

Ughh, despite COVID-19 I still remember doing this one part in school that was huge and pretty complex. Problem was that the four holes we needed to drill were so close to the edges that we had to use one of the smallest parallels. We also shared the shop with the college down the road and had to find the edges and convert to centerline machining! Low and behold I broke a tap and the paraprofessional broke the drill used for extracting the tap. Thank goodness for Cold Chisels! I also made a radius cut into a surface and not once but twice and around the same point. The Instructor for all I know keeps that part to this day to teach students to always pay attention to what dial you're adjusting.
