This video will teach you how to accurately locate your part when its in the vise at an angle. This technique is very helpful when an accurate location is required for a part feature.

Great video, thanks. Alternatively, instead of a drill blank use a square gauge block with knife edges. Use a shorter parallel so you can use the edge of the block to replace the rounded edge of your work, then use trig that you would have used if you had a knife edge on your work.

12/26/2021 I guess I'm a strange draftsman, I was an auto cad draftsman who was responsible for creating ALL the shop drawings for the machine shop, where I worked. I must be strange because I would use the computer, accurate to infinity, to place that correct dimension on the print, so the machinist didn't have to do all that math, and me too. Just like a good machinist, I learned tricks, shortcuts and the hidden ability's of the cad software. As Joe says, "there are at least 10 ways to do something, it's the same with a cad operation". Needless to say the operators, inspectors and MY boss. really liked me, for some strange reason Oh ya, the engineers would do the things you mention, but I tried to make sure it didn't matter. 5 minutes of my time saved double or more in the set up, production, and inspection time. I wonder if other guys, like me, did this or liked screwing with the operators? ;-)

Excellent use of trig for locating a feature. You're explanation was spot on except for calling the hypotenuse the "long leg." The "legs" form the right angle. Maybe start the video introduction with you as the main subject (as shown here), but zoom in to just the white board during the detailed explanation/sketching. Then zoom out for final thoughts/conclusion. If possible, wirelessly pause the Go-Pro when re-positioning camera tripod to avoid lengthy video editing in post production. Thoroughly enjoy the use of trig tables over punching buttons on a calculator. Unfortunately, "young" machinists, designers and engineers have never seen a trig table outside of a Half-Priced Books math/science section. I'm really enjoying the knowledge you share.

I usually shoot and post these videos in one day, solo. I have tried to avoid post production editing. These actually come right off the GoPro. ( not always on the first try ) I was wondering if someone would call me on the use of the term 'long leg'. Thanks for keeping me honest. I did not want to assume everyone knew what a hypotenuse was. Hopefully if they read this exchange..they will. Again, thanks for watching and your compliments and comments. Stay tuned. More to come.

I have a way of remembering Trig formula - I can remember Tan (opposite over adjacent), but can't remember which is sine and cosine, so I use a word analogy (nemonic?): Sine is oppoSite over hypotenuse, and cosine is adjaCent over hypotenuse for the angle in question.

Hi Larry. I believe that would work. As long as you know how thick that parallel is and make sure its straight and flush with the part top, you could use an edge finder on the parallel then the trig deme to figure it out. You would still have to solve for 2 triangles, but its dealers choice here. On parts that are not tooling ball friendly, this is a good way to know where you are.

Hey Joe, how about putting a Pac-Man shaped piece of material on the reference corner. Sandwich Pac-Man between your part and your stop. As long as your stop is a vertical plane that touches tangent to Pac-Man's outside diameter, you know your stop is offset "exactly" one radius from the corner. I'm probably describing an actual tool with an actual name that was invented in the 19th century, but I haven't seen one yet so that's my take on it. Well actually I got the idea from another video of yours showing how to use a ball or cylinder with a flat for holding rhombazoid shaped parts. I thought that was pretty clever. So I just wanted to return that clever idea back to you, slightly modified. Let us hope that we don't find too many holes drilled at odd angles on our prints, making occasions for using such a tool few and far between. I'm not much of a commenter because when I do I kind of ramble on and on as you may notice. So let me take this opportunity to say thank you for freely demonstrating your knowledge and experience to all of us hacks, essentially inviting us into your shop and showing us how you do what you do. I appreciate your hospitality Joe. Happy holidays!

I have to make a 23 hole pattern circle with holes drilled at a 7.27 degree angle in a cylinder shaped part.I am thinking of tilting the head and using a rotary table type indexer to do this. I wondering how to accurately locate the center of my part so I can make sure I create the correct PCD.

It is a flange shaped part with the an OD of 150mm the PCD is at a diameter of 100mm with 23 holes that are drilled at a 7.27 degree toward the center of the part. It is 80 mm in length or height. Maybe i could use an edge finder on the OD if i touch exactly on the high, but I am unsure if it will be accurate. I don't think i will be able to sweep the part because the head will be tilted. i purchased a tooling ball with the hope of making a plug for the center of the rotary table that i will insert the tooling ball in and be able to sweep while the head is tilted. knowing the distance from the face of the rotary table to the center of the ball at given angle i can calculate the distance i need to move in x to be in center of the table. Then calculate the distance i need to move in x for the length of the part. lmao Idon't know its hard for me to picture any of this until i actually set up the part. maybe i'm just over thinking it...

Ok I got the trig part how you used the bit or rod to form the values for your triangle. I get a bit lost when you say "just shift". Am I to understand that the value for the larger 20 degree triangle is already stipulated on our diagram and the distance that we calculated to the edge of the bit is to be subtracted from our edge finder then the mill moved the difference? Please keep in mind I am watching this at 3:30 in the morning with a bad case of heart burn. Thanks

At about the 8:45 mark I use the term shift. This is the distance you move your table once you have picked up the edge of the pin and zeroed your dials or digital. It is the distance from the edge of the pin to the corner you are trying to find.

@jeffreylewis145

You made that harder than it had to be. The right half of the round moved along the line by it's radius. The left half of the round didn't move along the line as much because of the angle of the edge finder to the angle of the slope. If the angle was zero then it would have moved along the line by 100% of the radius. As the angle increases the movement along the line decreases. When something starts at 100% and goes down then you know to use the cosine of the angle, whereas when something starts at zero and moves up you go with the sine of the angle. Since this starts at 100% of the radius and is going down with the angle you use the cosine of the angle to find out how much it moved, which is less than 100%. Add that to the right half and you get the total movement along the line. So to do it quickly, it's the full radius on one side plus the cosine fraction of the radius on the other side.

OK....Here we go. If I understand you correctly, I may have to disagree. Your method would be quick and accurate if you were trying to find the linear distance between the contact point of the edge finder to the pin, to the contact point of the pin against the parallel as calculated between parallel vertical lines. I am having a hard time seeing how your method would give you the point on the part since the location parallel is a sloped surface. I am not disagreeing with you (yet) but I am having a hard time visualizing it. Please respond. I am intrigued.
