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!

id just be really pleased with those clamp slot things you made to hold the sine plate with haha

[christiandynes]

I could watch your videos for hours. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels

[simonhoey]

Brandon, I must say. The speed at which your channel has taken off is astounding. Most people spend multiple years building a channel to your level of popularity. This only shines a light on how you came out of the gates with excellent quality. Keep up the great work!

"Have you ever started a project knowing exactly what you want the end product to be but no clue how you'll get there?" (paraphrased)
I am a programmer. You just described a solid two thirds of all personal projects I've undertaken.

[FlaminChicken]

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.

Each project ( & side projects) reinforces the foundational aspects of your machining skills. By improving your tools, you'll achieve consistency and repeatability in your measurements and dimensions. You are well on your way to becoming a toolmaker and it is a pleasure to watch this journey. 😊

[CorbinMusso]

I kinda wish I had a grandpa like yours. I gotta build up my tool collection from scratch. You’re extremely blessed, man. AND you’re doing it all justice. Keep making videos. You got a subscriber for life.

[judelarkin]

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.

[acky]

I'm a CNC machinist by trade but there's just something so satisfying about manual machines. Found you a couple days ago and have been binging through your videos. Keep up the good work friend.

[mrkenenglish]

Side Projects! Your storytelling is fantastic, and the production values are great. Keep at it, I'm loving your channel!

[Adler]

Have you ever... YES!!!
I have this old motor lying around and every other part of the car that was attatched to it.
I went on dismanteling and ended up with a total stripdown. I am only procrastination away from building this in line four cylinder with only one cam to live up again....
Thank you for putting in this extra stress when you decide to film it all for us!

[kgregory]

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.

[BruceBoschek]

More than 30, 000 subscribers in such a short time is evidence of the interest in your content and the valuation of your presentation. It is really satisfying to see those tools come to life, looking better than new. Thanks for your efforts to share this work with us.

[Wintersmachineshop]

Turned out to be a very nice piece, never hurts to have options . Great grinding methodology and order of operations. Nice work, thanks for sharing.

[stevenking]

Inheritance machine shop is fast approaching being my favourite machining channel we all love a side project in the home shop

[celestialbeas]

I used to work in a shop where all we did was rough trepanning of cast iron into tubes. running big hexagonal turret lathes and flood coolant. It was fun, messy, and loud. I miss that shop.

[Basdekip]

I have no idea what this thing is, what it does and why its usefull, but this is some great stuff to just watch, listen and relax to.

[Lone-Wolf]

That was very relaxing to see how those rusty parts became brand new again. Well done. 👍👍👍👍

[scottphilips]

I worked in a tool and die shop out of high school, I forgot how much I like machining 👍🏻, even if it is watching someone else
