I need to machine a part that looks something like my sketch. It's .625 thick alum. And it's roughly 3x4". I need to do both inside cutting and then cut the contour. I was thinking to load a bar on my table long enough to make say 10 parts. Machine the inside of each then cut the outer profile. And if possible leave a .25 wide "tab" on two sides maybe .200 thick to keep the part in place at the very end. Then just sand it off when done.
Any pointers? Or ideas? I want to nest them to save on material instead of band sawing it all into blanks ahead of time.
Also is there any slick way of making the "tab" in BobCad?
Thanks!!!
