I am making a clamp that requires me to flip the part in the vise three times to make the part. The first setup, I will face the top, machine the outside shape and bore the hole. The position is shown in the attached figure 1.
Next, I have to rotate the part 90° in the vise to cut the slit in the clamp body (figure 2). I used a second setup when I rotated the part. In the setup, I changed the stock to match the condition it will be in after the first setup is complete. So, this reduced the size of the stock and changed the offsets from Setup1. My concern is the accuracy of my adjustments to the stock. Since I picked a box point on the model, does it matter if my accuracy of the stock dimensions is off? Is there a better way to do this?
