Re: Work Holding
I'd do it as a 4 jaw chuck project. Face one surface, flip it & make the other 3 surfaces perpendicular/parallel to the first surface, turn the 25 mm spigot then flip it & make the threaded hole - I'd

Re: Work Holding
Thanks Richard,
One other idea I have that certainly didn't come with the user manual is the distance from the top of the X Table to the milled flat area by the 25mm hole. So I have to take the lead

Re: Work Holding
I do not have a problem with your approach. Clamp 4 jaw, turn spigot
(nub), then hold in collet block to drill and bore.
I would superglue a piece of 1/2" aluminum to what will be the bottom

Re: Work Holding
BTW. That was supposed to be nub. Not numb. Don't know why it changed to numb. Other than perhaps my brain is that after contemplating this for over a week.

Work Holding
I think this may be the best forum to ask this question as it's less about CNC machining and more about general machining.
The photo is of the ACME bronze nut on my X axis mill table. Clearly a

Try hand lapping anything but flat surfaces and make 1000 pieces per hour or mor manually. I had a customer that quoted milling on a 1/4 inch square circuit board and he had to do 25,000 of them so he

Re: ReWET: [CAD-CAM-EDM-DRO] ADVANTAGES OF CNC OVER CONVENTIONAL
I know that, but the person I was replied to didn’t mention microns, he said “be hand lapped to millions of an inch”

ReWET: [CAD-CAM-EDM-DRO] ADVANTAGES OF CNC OVER CONVENTIONAL
CNC machines can be designed to produce parts to 1mm accuracy, or 10nm

Re: ReWET: [CAD-CAM-EDM-DRO] ADVANTAGES OF CNC OVER CONVENTIONAL
To be fair, the article only claims accuracy for the CNC parts up to 0.0001”, ten thou not millionths.
Having a bunch of machinists cranking out parts to 0.0001” all day long isn’t cheap
