First round table milling operations on the body …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓

Last week we finally finished the 16mm center hole in the body (link below). Now the body is going onto the round table of the milling machine. I will make one mistake and work a bit sloppy in one instance. So there’s something to learn here.

First we clamp the body onto the round table. Then we mill a large diameter, quite deep round pocket into it. Finally we mill a circular grove for an O-ring around the pocket. The result will not be perfect (some eccentricity, some chatter), but ok.

00:00 Intro – heavy milling of the body
00:40 Drawing – recap of round pocket and grove
02:04 Milling (1) – 52mm Ø pocked, 16.4mm deep
16:13 Milling (2) – 2mm deep, 4mm wide grove
19:59 Result – some eccentricity, but hit the marks
22:36 Wrap-up – next we mill the other side, bye
