  • @cncgcode4822
    @cncgcode4822 7 лет назад +237

    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.

      @@KalijahAnderson Thanks to you too, good sir.
      Might I ask, are there any analytical techniques in mathematics for solving non-linear differential equations? I ask because all I see currently in my engineering curriculum has to do with linear differential equations and higher powers are neglected (Taylor series approximations). But these are only applicable for certain common cases (infinitesimal strain) and materials (Newtonian fluids). 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. Or stated in another way, when one is projected on another, there isn't any length there, so they are "unrelated".

      also, the shorthand for orthogonal is the word "normal" as in we need this side to be normal to the other two sides.
      I would also mention that normal is pretty much specifically for 3d where as orthogonal is for any number of dimensions.

      ​@@forthector7188 Not exactly, i think. Let V be a vector space over a field (of either complex or real numbers) that forms a Hilbert space together with some norm induced by a scalar product ( [x,y] ; x,y € V). 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. If said set linearly independet, then it is the orthonormal basis of a vectorspace (U) in V with dimension(U)

      You could say 3 "mutually orthogonal" planes or edges/lines.

    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.

    • @johncoops6897
      @johncoops6897 2 года назад

      The size of the required dimensional adjustment has absolutely nothing to do with the forces or deflection.
      You obviously have no experience in milling, and the assumptions that you are making are comically incorrect.

    Good video. I’ve learned a lot from your channel and recently this year I’ve learned a lot in apprenticeship. I use slips of cardboard to hold rough sawn blocks in the vise. It has good holding power and protects the jaws.
    One thing I would have added is sizing the block, because usually you can get that done when you square it up.

    Dear This Old Tony, I'm a big fan of your channel. could you please make a video of the process of making a 'Turner's Cube'. One of those, cube within a cube,within a cube things that an aprentice would make on a lathe when our country ( England) had aprentices. It would be interesting to see how you aproach the challenge. I've been struggling with making one for weeks now and just ended up with lots of scrap.

    I never thought of using path integral equations to resolve the number of sides to a block, but Schrodinger, Einstein, Noether and I all agree, you somehow got the answer right! I would however like to see the proof of this in generalized form. Hopefully, it will take less time than Fermat's last theorem. Sincerely, G. Feynman
