Project 1: Machining Operations

This link will take you to the cutting tool information page.

There you will find all the necessary cutting tool information to calculate RPM, Feed Rate, plan radial engagement and axial depth of cut, and plot tool paths for cutting operations.

Information included will provide parameters that the specific cutting tools will operate with while cutting.

This link will take you to the processing information for Operation 20 - Squaring Material.

See Operation 20 Setup Sheets for details on milling machine steps taken to complete the squaring process on each piece of material.

This link will take you to the processing information for Operation 25 - Creating the Clamp Heel Surface.

This is the first operation for Project 1 that will utilize coordinates in all three axes to produce machined surfaces.

Note: an interesting material development occurs from the roughing operation with the facemill.

This link will take you to the processing information for Operation 30 - machining the slots.

Note: ends of the slots will be drilled while the remaining material will be removed with an endmill.

This link will take you to the processing information for Operation 35 - Step Milling.

This link will take you to the drawing for Operation 37 - Slot Milling and Stamping Operation.
