It's almost like a comedian and his straight man!The sense of humor Mr.DonBailey uses while teaching valuable lessons makes this not only a great learning experience but fun as well!My compliments to Mr.Bailey and Suburban Tools!
There is something about this duo that I really enjoy, I think it's a combination of the expertise, friendliness and humor that makes it a winning combo. I also like drooling over the precise instruments and tooling demonstrated. Please keep on doing what you're doing!
I worked for Jansen Gauge, Freeland Gauge, and Summit Products (all related) years ago in Metro Detroit. We supplied the big three with production gauging equipment. I enjoyed the work. It was a very satisfying occupation. Freeland Gauge owned many "AIR" gauge patents.
Really great to see new videos and really appreciate your work to produce them. You are making a difference and educating a new generation of tool makers.
My woodworking teacher taught me this one. if you have a square and you want to check it: choose a flat surface, like a machine, put the square L on the surface, run your pencil along the square, and then flip it over like this: _| and follow the pencil line. If your square is square, the line will match up perfectly. If not, you will have diverging or converging lines.
Wow I just discovered this channel and couldn't be happier! I feel like I'm in school again! The way the old timer talks and explains things reeled me in. I subbed and I'm excited to learn mote
Great to see you guys Don's always trying to keep Glen out of trouble sure would be a pleasure working for Don Bailey like your videos keep them coming thanks
I have missed these. I am a hobby machinist with some key suburban tools. Another friend who watches these vids is a machinist and loves the content. Thank You Don!
I appreciate your Video on Squareness and how someone should use these types of Measuring devices the proper way. But you left out a great deal of Information, 'in my opinion'. Maybe you should've covered more about these Tools and the Tool uses so as the Layman just learning, would've benefited more from your knowledge about the use of these Tools. I just thought this might help your Video's somewhat. Well thanks for sharing your knowledge with me and all those willing to know more about how Our World Works. It is Appreciated Sir.
Great video guys....reminds me when I was a youngster, I would go into the gauge room at The Warner & Swasey Co., Cleveland TMD [I was Welder A] and was trying to glean info to work in the toolroom on my lunch break or there to get a fixture gage.. way back in 1976 lol!
Just because it says 0 comments, I'll add one. When he asked about checking for square at different heights, it would have been a good opportunity to mention that it would be checking for flatness along the vertical plane, which is a different test, and that you check the max height for accuracy as the longer the distance the more an angle will show up, and the combination of a flatness and square check would prove actual squareness over the entire surface (being you could fluke a square test and have a hollow or proud spot half way up. But great videos either way, my requirements for squareness are closer to 10mm/m (half inch over 3 foot), but I like using the same principle and seeing how different trades do things.
I have a squareness tester similar to that height indicator. The trick is that the bottom plate has 3 contact points and that you can turn it by 180° and measure again. Take the average of both readings (before and after flipping the instrument by 180°) and you get squareness, no matter how not square the sliding column is, on which the dial indicator is riding....
The positif aditude of the Dr. Toolmaker and very well naration , made me not hassitate to subsribe , well done guys. Explaining the height gauge , great job ! I´m looking forward for your upcomming video , to learn and revise my knowledge of toolmaking . Greets from the Netherlands Johny geerts
In an unrelated side note, when using a dial indicator to sweep or measure something, try to set up so that the indicator tip isn't at a severe angle otherwise you'll induce a cosine error. A 60° angle on your indicator tip will induce a .005" error over .010" !! Just something to be aware of......
You'd think it would be a one-piece machined gauge, but its parts stuck into other parts. interesting, how are they confident that the gauge is square? i mean it has turn knobs, shafts that wear, fitting surfaces that might degrade? And how about the table surface that it's on?
One very important thing when using indicators is to make sure they don't get zeroed on or very close to the end of their travel. If you get perfect reading every time it is time to doubt your measurement! But also if in doubt, repeat your measurement - do you get the same or not? Is the variation within the tools specification for error (there is always an error margin). I've had the colouring of cleaning alcohol upset my measurements, that was a frustrating journey (using a resolution of 0.1 µm with constant pressure device). But most important, use your eyes and brain - Is your measurement reasonable? - What could cause issues, how can those be minimized? Make sure it is made within tolerances but don't split hairs if you don't need to. After all, correct measurements are the key to successful manufacturing!
Great video, thanks. It seems to be quite hard to get hold of a surface gauge like the one you are using to hold the indicator, with the curved ground surface near the bottom that bears against the cylindrical square. Does that tool have a name? I realise you could always make one or adapt something but I presume someone must manufacture a tool for this purpose.
Very nice explanation. One question though: doesn't the cylinder gradually wear at the base over time since it is in repeated contact with another metal tool? I would also be interested in seeing how the cylinder is manufactured - I guess fancy lathe work is involved, but how do you guarantee the base is perp. to the round face accurately enough?
Here are a some additional videos that may help explain that. ruclips.net/video/hui6pPZH36U/видео.html ruclips.net/video/m4mH120Lf68/видео.html ruclips.net/video/5oEqrJuAmaI/видео.html

Soo good to see you well Don.
Thank you for passing on your knowledge.
Thank you kindly
Yay! Another one! Can’t wait to watch. I’ve missed your Don and Glenn!
Thanks!
I check every couple days Don, so glad to see you back. Missed your videos.
I worked for Jansen Gauge, Freeland Gauge, and Summit Products (all related) years ago in Metro Detroit. We supplied the big three with production gauging equipment. I enjoyed the work. It was a very satisfying occupation. Freeland Gauge owned many "AIR" gauge patents.
Please keep teaching people these practices and principles.
A great demonstration of proper technique. Many of the videos on checking squareness are actually checking parallelism.
Great to see you back Don!
Always a pleasure to see Mr. Don putting out another video!!!!! Thank you sir!!!
Thanks for watching!
Right on thanks for demonstrating how to check perpendicularity the proper way.
Really great to see new videos and really appreciate your work to produce them. You are making a difference and educating a new generation of tool makers.
Just came across your channel. Thank you for passing on this knowledge. This is vital stuff whether people realize it or not. Subscribed.

I learned something! Great demo. I've often wondered how to check squareness just as you demonstrated.
Glad it was helpful!
I'm happy to see you back again! I missed your updates.
Wow I just discovered this channel and couldn't be happier! I feel like I'm in school again! The way the old timer talks and explains things reeled me in. I subbed and I'm excited to learn mote
Good to have you back!
Thanks for sharing!
Welcome back Don and Glenn. It's great to see you two.
More of that please. You're a worthy teacher
Great to see you again.
Good to see you two back and that you have not lost your sense of humour 😃
I appreciate the time and effort you put into the making of these videos. Good job, always a pleasure to watch.
Hi Don: GLAD to see you back. I always enjoy your insight and videos.
Glad to hear it
Great to see you guys Don's always trying to keep Glen out of trouble sure would be a pleasure working for Don Bailey like your videos keep them coming thanks
Thanks 👍
👍 thanks for some more gold nuggets of tool making Me. Bailey! Always good to see you!

Glad to see you back doing videos Don!
Glad to see you two up to your old antics. Really good info on how to properly check things vs the Glen method 😉.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Don and Glen - Thanks for another good educational video. Appreciate you providing such good content to add to the library from Suburban Tool.
That is absolutely correct one of the most common thing people do is mistake the height gauge for squaring
I'm so pleased to see a video from you both. God bless, and hope your both well. 👍
So glad you guys are back. How I wish I could come work for you. I would love to be an asset on your team.
Glad to see you making videos still.
Nice to see yet another info packed video

Lots of respect for working here. Getting back work after lunch, talking about what bosses want. I don’t see a lot of talk like that nowadays
I'm glad to see you guys back again. These videos boost the motivation of the machinist that lives in my mind :)
Thanks Don! I really like these kind of videos. Please do more :)
Thanks, stay tuned!
It was good to see you too again!! Stay well.
Thanks, you too!
Glade to see another video. Was wondering when we would get another.
good to see you again Mr Bailey
I learnt a lot from you don. Good to see another video.
Thanks 👍
I like older men educating the younger ones ☺️. Thanks a lot.
Best explanation on this subject I have even seen. Thank you.
Thank you!
Welcome back Don & Glen! Glad you guys are doing ok.
All is well, thank you.
The positif aditude of the Dr. Toolmaker and very well naration , made me not hassitate to subsribe , well done guys.
Explaining the height gauge , great job !
I´m looking forward for your upcomming video , to learn and revise my knowledge of toolmaking .

First time watching, subbed. Thank you guys for these, it'll help teaching many
Love the videos! Keep them coming
Great to see you guys again! As always a great video!
Thanks!
you're back!!! yay. Another interesting helpful video.. Thanks
You bet!
I love this, and this channel!

Good point (pun intended), Don explains it here.

We've missed you guys!
Thank you for your kind words.
Awesome simple explanations. Thanks for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great instruction for checking squareness
Glad you liked it!
i wonder why educational programs are no longer on TV ? great job lads it gets you thinking
This was cool. The more you know. Especially since I don't have anyone to teach me this stuff. Nor so we have the tools these guys got
Thanks yet again to take the care and attention to share the knowledge - legendary status achieved
We want more teachers like you
Great veadio sir
Thanks for watching!
Happy to see you back

Frigging kid tool maker!😅🤣😂 Great video!
Aw dang i subscribed with a smile.
Hi it’s Stacie! Nice to see you again! I hope that everything is well! I hope to see more videos!😁
Thank you Stacie, yes all is well.
Awww shucks. Thanks!
Great video, thanks.

Very informative ty.
Very nice explanation.
One question though: doesn't the cylinder gradually wear at the base over time since it is in repeated contact with another metal tool?
I would also be interested in seeing how the cylinder is manufactured - I guess fancy lathe work is involved, but how do you guarantee the base is perp. to the round face accurately enough?
Here are a some additional videos that may help explain that.
