Awesome. Two square masters in one video. [One on the plate, and one standing in front of the plate.] Always nice to be able to watch a talented set of hands using cool tools that I will never be able to afford to have. LOL. But I also come away a bit more enlightened with new ways of looking at a problem and how they can be solved. Thanks Stan.
i lust for one so bad ,i can taste it (peaches milliteck and just a hint of saracha and pickle) all ways a joy to see your work stan thanks for sharing
How do you know that the faces of the sliding part are parallel to the surfaces you ground? If they aren't I would think you would have to be careful where you were setting up off of as the heights would vary depending on where on the flat surface you were going from. You sure get nice grinder finishes!
Stan, awesome video! Your surface plate 'action' of quantifying the error, correcting, and then re-testing makes you one of my favorite UA-camrs. The gauge now has two sides that are square < .0001". Question though; since the gauge (30-60-90 I presume?) has the sliding T-slot on the hypotenuse, any reason you didn't hold that angle (sine bar, or one of your squares) and then grind the base legs square to that? Just curious, & thanks again!
I checked that surface and it was very true, didnt want to mess with the way the slider engaged with it. But if it was off, you could certianly start by regrinding that surface.
Shadon HKW - I understand not wanting to grind that surface, given the sliding fit & the t-slot; but was really asking/mentioning that the angular relationship might be 31-59-90 (thus is obviously exaggerated, but the point remains) rather than a true 30-60-90 relationship to the sliding surface, since it wasn't part of the equation in squaring the other two base legs. Just an observation.
Oh, I see what your saying, I dont think these gauges are used in that fashion (needing a true angle as opposed to just a true surface) I have 3 in my collection (all different angles) I really think of these things as a glorified adjustable parallel with a handy square built in :)
Like adjustable parallels, isn't it important to keep the two 'outside' surfaces as parallel as possible? Changing the angle of the long side relative to the two legs of the right angle, results in the assembled gauge being kind of trapezoidal doesn't it?
Stan, I see some faint lines in your granite. Are those natural veins? Cracks or beginning of cracks? The results of conditioning? Can you feel or detect them, other than visual? Was the table a "second" because of them? Thanks!
OUCH!! Pierre, I just thought of several funny responses to the wife remark. However, in the interest of International tranquility, I will keep them to myself. :)

On that rear cargo tool rig...Superb! The product of creative, thoughtful minds with skilled hands connected! Well done!
Good job. I do not have room for a grinder but I do envy all of that accuracy.
A joy to watch you work as always.
Thank you Stan.
It is so obvious AFTER seeing your video
always something new to learn. thanks Stan..
quickie but good, turned out sweet!
Cool, learned a new technique, thanks Stan.

Came out nice.

nice work Stan .
oops, last comment was for the essential craftsman tool tank vid...
Ha ha .. I was scratchin' my head there a bit ....
Whheeeeee! We went for a vertical ride.

You guys are gonna make me go back on shoot another video short arent ya?
GREAT VIDEO !!
MOLY OR ANTI-SEIZE FOR VICE ?
Anti sieze on the screw only, way oil and wrap in a lint free for storage.

Its a factory blem, still qualified as grade A, I got 40% off, just because it was "ugly"
I wasn't ready to settle for an ugly wife, even with a BIG discount... lol
OUCH!! Pierre, I just thought of several funny responses to the wife remark. However, in the interest of International tranquility, I will keep them to myself. :)
Lol...!!! I wish I'd be that wise... ;)
Ha ha .. I'm not even goin' there guys!
