Know Your Capabilities: People & Companies
Capability is determined by how well a process produces parts. Three measures of capability are important to a machinist: gage, machine and process. The author provides a detailed description of capability and suggests ways to quantify if a process is or isn't capable.
Stress Management: General Industry Coverage
High-performance aluminum-alloy workpieces are prone to residual stresses that can lead to part distortion. This article reviews the milling tools and practices that affect these stresses. Some tools and practices alleviate the stress, while others allow the machinist to mill the part without adding more stress.
Rigid Rules: General Industry Coverage
There are some tapping situations that call for a rigid tapholder and some that call for a length-compensating holder. Often the choice depends on the capabilities of the machine and the CNC driving the tap. This article discusses why a machinist might choose one type of tapholder or the other.
Workholding Goes to Great Lengths
When shouldered parts are held for turning with a draw-in collet, length-control problems can result. This article provides directions for making collet add-ons that allow the machinist to locate the part against the spindle face, providing a consistent length from part to part.
