Hello,
I'm relatively new to machining but have been employed in manufacturing for over 10 years doing mostly electrical. I am putting together training materials for my employees to divide them into different categories/levels. One section is to include some skills tests on the Bridgeport mill and separately the lathe.
I have training for identifying the components of the mill and what they are used for. Then I have a written guide for speeds and feeds based on size and materials. Lastly, I also have guides on how to tram the head and square the vise on the mill. My question is, are there some or any written procedures for cutting keyways on a round shaft with a vertical Bridgeport mill? Also, are there any for general slot cutting as well? My google searches haven't come up with anything I can make tangible. (maybe it's just my search criteria).
Any finger pointing the right direction with those two items would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
