HEAD SHOP AS A MILL
When we need to plunge mill or drill an irregular object, such as when removing a broken bolt or stud in a motorcycle part, we use our seat and guide machine to hold and locate the part. The air clamp, air float and roll over fixture make short work of holding and locating the part, cutting setup time considerably. Our machine also has an auto tap function that is handy when its time to thread the hole for a Helicoil type insert. In my opinion, the machining of an irregular part is not the biggest portion of the job, it’s finding a way to hold the part.
