ID Features Manual Programming

This page documents that procedure used to develop the program for boring jaws out for the ID Features Manual Programming Project.

This process can serve to provide a template to follow for similar chuck jaw workholding scenarios.

Review the Project Drawing by clicking on the ID Features Manual Programming Project Drawing button. This drawing details the part requirements for the side two machining. New topics include ID Turning and Single Point OD Threading. The first topic for the project will be ID Turning.

STEP 1: Creating Work Holding Solution for Operation 2

Rather than just writing a program and setting up the CNC Lathe as we did in OD Features Manual Programming Project, we will have to consider work holding for this turning operation.

Lathe jaws with machined surfaces to match the intended clamping and locating surfaces will need to be created.

STEP 2: Manually Programming the ID Features Machining

Once Jaws have been cut for the work holding, we can move on to the manual programming of the ID Features on the Project.

We will use a multipurpose turning tool that can both drill and bore the ID Feature. See the information about the tool by clicking the button below.

Apply the applications data from the tungaloy multipurpose tool and insert to manually write the program section for machining the 1.500" bore in side 2 of the part. Note, the multipurpose tool can be used to Drill, Bore, and Face the Front of the Part.
