    Two Sided Milling Fixture

    Does anyone have a nice fixture design for being able to mill one side of a part and then flip it about its center to mill the other side?
    I tried a simple two pin dowel fixture cut on the CNC but it still was just slightly off center on the second side cut.
    Just looking for a nice fixture idea for this issue.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Use soft jaws on the vise, then machine them to match the shape of your part.

    Thats a good idea, or you could cut out your part shape in a block of aluminum and drill it and tap it. You'd have to also put a hole in your part too.
