How do I machine this: Bearing Sleeve | |
These are bearings sleeves I need to make for my cnc router rails. The green lines represent two bearings side to side.
I think the best way would be (on a lathe):
Face one side
Make the groove
Bore it
Face the opposite side
The concern with those steps is that their may not be enough surface area for the jaws of the chuck to grip to give me room to do the facing in the last step. (Don't want the bearing to wobble and definitely don't want to hit the chuck with my tool bit)
The problem with this part for me is I need accuracy on all the dimensions except the boring.
Another issue is I need to make 8 of these with each set of 2 sleeves being as close to identical as I can get. |
