Angular gage blocks
Similar to linear gage blocks but for setting a
needed angle.
The upper surface of the gage block has the
desired angle, example:
Gage block with 15 degrees looks like this:

Example of angular gage blocks
The added blocks (+ sign indicated) means we are placing the blocks in the
opposite direction of the previous block such that the final surface is adjusted to
the desired dimension

Sine Bars
Used on surface plates and any angle by
raising one end of bar with gage blocks
Sensitivity of a sine bar is defined by the
ratio of change in angle to the change in
gage block height

Applications of sine bar
The tapered part is machined to an angle of 24 degree and 57 minutes. Design a method to measure
the accuracy of this angle after machining by using a 5 inch sine bar and 81 set of gage blocks
Method:
1. calculate the elevation needed to construct and desired angle:
2. Choose the correct gage blocks to make the elevation (h=2.1091)
3. Install the gage blocks under one of the sine bar cylindrical wheels
4. Install the part on top of the sine bar surface
5. Use a stylus with dial gage, shown in figure, and pass it on the part top surface
6. take measurement from the dial
7. If the dial reading is positive it means the part is less tapered (less than desired angle value)
8. If the dial reading is negative it means the part is more tapped (more than desired angle value)
