Machining Parts

Tangerina, I am sorry , but I have to tell you , nobody can help you unless you can

describe : type and shape of material to be machined, and what is the machine

suppose to do, turn, mill, tap ( threading) . There are a lot of people that can help,

but you have to ask the right question.

I agree.

I will try explain better my question! I want know a way to mill pieces that when are machined suffer a little deformation that turn impossible assure the measures that i wish.

I hope that this answer help!!! If not ask again:)

What exactly is the material?

What are the dimensions of the material or the material thickness?

If I know what it is you are machining and what exactly you are doing to it, I can ask my machinist about it. You need to be more specific about the type of material and what you are doing to it because if the piece is narrow and you are putting a slot into it or shaping it in a way that leaves a real narrow point in the material then it is unavoidable and you would flatten it by pounding out on a flat surface. Machining causes heat and that can cause it to warp some if it's not getting an adequate flow of coolant flowing on it while machining.

If the part cannot be completed by machining then it might be better to have them laser cut. If the heat from laser cutting causes it to warp then use water jet cutting.

Sounds like Tangerina is asking how you machine something that flexes a lot, like machining the end of a long thin bar. I would guess that the general answer is going to be that you need to support the part locally whilst machining it. If you're turning you might use a travelling steady, for sheet or plate, a punch & die would do the job.

A more specific question will lead to a more comprehensive answer.

What do you mean by flesions?

Do you mean that the material is flexible like a spring, or that it is connected together creating joints for bending, or that you want to make a part that has joints in it for flexing?

Long stick of steel or plate? Are you talking about flat bar, which comes in different dimensions.

When referring to "plate" you're talking about it coming from a sheet that's thicker then 10 gauge or 1/8" thick.

You can drill it or punch it with a punch. You can drill a couple holes and have a slot made in it on a mill, or you can punch a slot with the punch as well. That all depends on the thickness of the material in relation to the narrowest dimension of the punch.

Punches and mills have a small surface area to work with so you'll have to set up rollers or a table the same height as the bench area of the machine to compensate for the flexing of the material if it's a long piece.

This is as good as it gets for the information that you've provided.

If you really are in need of assistance a more descriptive explanation of your needs is in order.

I meant to spell it as "Flexions" I didn't notice that I'd misspelled that word, please forgive me.
