New To The CNC Machining Trade

Hi Guys, HuFlungDung and LeeWay
Thanks for all your replies and time,

The slops will be milled with a chamfer mill. Hum sounds like this will work it's somewhat similar to what the gentleman LeeWay had mention early in this thread of fixturing the part. I was in the mode of there must be an easy way of simply milling the part then just flipping it I just didn't know how to do it.

"Use a dial indicator in the spindle to sweep the holes where the engage the boss on the spacer." I'm still pretty gray on that method. Is there some good reading information on the method you mentioned, in case you don't want to explain it. Ok you guys might be shaking your head and thinking, wow this guy is brand new :-) LOL

Using a dial indicator in the spindle is a common setup technique for ascertaining the position of a previously machined hole, when you wish to use that hole as a datum for a secondary setup.

You'll need one of the special purpose indicators that has a swivel attachment on one end that allows you to hold the swivel in a chuck. The opposite end of the indicator has a small stylus with generally a short range of travel, and the stylus itself swings through a small arc, as the stylus is supported in a jewelled movement, like a watchworks. Mitutoyo #513-302 is the one I use quite regularly. Its got 3 little dovetails on 3 sides of it, and a dovetail swivel attachment can be had to mate those. I can generally sweep holes from near stylus ball diameter up to about 6". Very handy....handier than the $400 in your wallet
