Hi Im new to the forum and have only been working cnc machines for 2 years. Im having problems coming up with a new fixture. Let me give a little info

Im working with 2" aluminum chick jaws and cutting SS... the old fixture is blown out from over tourqe ( part pops out and done) . steel chick jaws are not in the budget

the part has a 9" shaft .315 round and it comes to a tear drop shape at one end. the tear drop is about 2" long and 1" at its circumference. the first op starts on the shaft next to the tear drop and a ball mill cuts to the end of the tear drop. it tapers from .315 to + .025 from the center of the circumference... so only .050 was left holding the part and the aluminum jaw would deform when over torqued.
Im trying to avoid using a dove tail because I dont want to add another station to the part.

any help would be great thanks
