Overview
Section 1 - INDICATING A VISE
Indicating a vise square to the machine is necessary so that any machining operations are square to the edge of the material.
Section 2 – INDICATE A HOLE
Indicating a hole is the starting point for the measurement and further machining of many projects. By indicating a hole accurately, we can be sure that the rest of our operations will be located correctly on the material.
Section 3 - FINDING AN EDGE
There are two ways that an edge can be located on the machine. The first way is using an edge finder. This method is fairly accurate. The second way is to use an indicator, which is the most accurate method of finding an edge.
Section 4 - FIND THE CENTER OF A SHAFT
Another procedure you should be familiar with is finding the center of a shaft. It is necessary to find the center of a shaft so that when drilling a series of holes, all of the holes will be in line with the center of the shaft.
Section 5 – CLAMP DOWN FIXTURE
Holding down a fixture correctly is important so that there is no chance of movement during the machining operation which will result in out of tolerance parts.
Section 6 – CLAMPING DOWN PART ONTO FIXTURE
Clamping parts onto a fixture correctly will assure repeatability in dimensions.
Section 7 – HOLDING A MICROMETER
Section 8 – HOLDING A TELESCOPE GAUGE
Holding the gauges correctly assures that you obtain the proper measurements.
Section 9 – COLLET HOLDERS
Preventing jammed collets in holders. Prevent flaring out the locating. Preventing drills from slipping back through the collet.
Section 10 – END MILL HOLDERS
Prevent the depth of the cut from varying.
