Hey there,
I've got this project coming up and I'm trying to find the best way to grip this material.
The stock size is 21" diameter 3.35" tall billet aluminum.
I can't use toe clamps from the top so I'm looking at some knife edge clamps from Mite-Bite.
It's just a little nerve racking with the material cost being so expensive so there is no room for error here.
Has anyone ran jobs like this/used fixture clamps to hold real big diameters on a mill table?
If so I'd greatly appreciate any insight.
-Mike
