Slide Guide Knobs

Ops 1 & 2 for the slide guide knobs. This is the end of the first run so there is still a lot I need to do to make it faster. The profiles and posts have to be held to a +/- .0005" tolerance to either fit the op2 fixture or a plastic washer so that slows it down a little. The 3/4" end mill is 20 years old now and getting rather dull. I can really speed that tool up with a new one. For now I just want to get through this run without any problems, which at this rate took 4 hours.

Awesome. I'm a little lost as I don't know what the final part shape is ... and I can't quite figure out how they're held in place: I'm assuming if it was in a vice they couldn't be separated without the flying off ... and a magchuck wouldn't let you separate them either..? I love machining ... but I've never had the chance to be in a machine shop, so I'm a bit of an ignoramus ... that said, I'm as close to a machinists groupie as exists. ;-) lol
