Using any holes in the part design really helps. If you have reasonable way to clamp it down within the part, go for it. Don't have to leave tabs on the outside.

As noted, if a part has holes it makes using a subplate easy (without the need for a product like a mitee bite). I've got a part where it has several tapped holes and I use a subplate with through holes and just run normal bolts into the part for op2. Using a stop and some parallels, I slide the whole thing out, slide a new assembly in, and take the part off the subplate while the next part is running since the bolt heads are on the bottom of the subplate.

No idea if this is still relevant to you or not but; if the piece of auminium has an unskimmed finish such as cast then clamping straight down is a gamble. I cant tell if this has a machined underside or not but the top looks unmachined (probably cast/forged or whatever). If they are using aluminium tooling plate then it will have been flycut on two faces, also coincidentally 6061 tends to be pretty stable

Part was set on a surface plate and checked after machining. No detectable warpage. Utilizing dynamic motion properly puts very little heat into the part

@@scrubsteppin The backside was machined flat prior, this was machined from a piece of billet plate.

@@jessetrinque4766 yeah it's hard to tell with the quality of the video and limited information, was just taking a calculated gueas

love Iscar Chatterfree full polish for alminum

Just under 2 hrs.

@@jessetrinque4766 I think the machine should carry more load or Maybe try a rough milling tool ? Nice part and good finish!

@@besrizhurnalov8485 those iscar chatterfree 3 flute full polish are tough to beat in aluminum

You need to so CNC for several years before you even think about that
