Hey all,
For the past 15 years I've been machining primarily glass, and none of that has been over 9" square by .120" thick.
We are going to start making our own fixtures for our other departments and dedicate a machine (Haas MiniMill) to milling metals and plastics.
I have a standard 6" Kurt type vice and was wondering what the best to clamp a piece of plastic that is 12" square by 1" thick for flycutting without it vibrating too much, which is currently happening. The facemill seems to bury itself a bit on the areas that overhang the vice.
Like I said, I new to this type of machining and would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.
