Help with Machining / Threading / Tapping
I need to manufacture a component from Mild Steel Bright Bars. I've enclosed the drawing herewith. While the machining tolerances are pretty wide the main criteria is roundness (on OD & ID) with reference to the thread.
Current process is
1) Cutting on Bandsaw
2) Drilling required hole on conventional machines
3) Machining ID 21mm, Small Face & Champher on CNC Lathe using a Hydraulic 3 Jaw Chuck
4) Machining rest of the area along with thread using a Tap on a CNC Lathe using Expanding Mandrel to Clamp the bore machined in previous setup.
While there is almost no ovality on ID or OD when checked on a mechanical comparator. When I check it after fastening it on a screw it shows random ovality of 0.1 to 0.25mm where as the acceptable tolerance is 0.15mm.
Please guide me what to do to get the component in required tolerance.
