I am looking for how you guys would mill a part, then flip it up at a right angle, then continue with other machining. An very simple example to illustrate:
when making a new mounting block for a 1" shaft that will hold X travel bearing blocks
1. route out a 1 diameter hole in a 2" x 2" for shaft access
2. route out a recessed bearing mount hole to support 1/2" threaded rod
3. route hole for threaded rod to fit in while sitting in bearing
4. route slot at end so 1" hole can be compressed with se screw
5. flip the part up, drill and thread mill hole to insert set screw for tightening the 1" shaft.
Using a vise to hole the part vertical for the drilling and tread milling has been requiring manual Zeroing of a sharp tool on one corner, then drilling. This is not as cosistent as needed. Any suggestions on a method? I suppose a jig foe each part could be done fot consistancy.
