A sine bar is a precision measuring tool used to set and measure angles. It typically consists of a hardened steel bar with two accurately machined cylindrical rollers at each end, spaced a specific distance apart, usually 5 inches or 10 inches. The angle is determined by the height of a gauge block placed between the rollers, following the sine formula: sine(θ) = opposite (height of gauge block) / hypotenuse (distance between rollers). Sine bars are commonly used in machining and metrology for achieving precise angular measurements.

A sine bar becomes impractical for angles larger than 45 degrees because the height of the workpiece must be increased to maintain the correct angle, which can lead to stability issues and difficulty in obtaining precise measurements. Additionally, as the angle increases, the required length of the sine bar increases, making it less manageable and harder to set up accurately. Furthermore, the sine bar's effectiveness diminishes due to the geometry involved, as larger angles may lead to increased errors in measurement.
Standard sizes of sine bars typically include lengths of 100 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm, with a common height of 50 mm. They are designed with specific angles, often ranging from 0 to 90 degrees, allowing for precise angular measurements and setups. The most common sine bar uses a cylinder diameter of 10 mm for the pins, which are essential for accurate angular positioning.
