I'm looking for same advice on the following:
customer comes in and needs stainless 316 plates machined.
Simple part. 180mm round disk and some bolt holes.
But...it's 4mm thick and one side with the holes (countersink) should be flat within 0,2mm,
They already made some out of 316 plate material and lasered the bolt holes. But the flatness is not good enough.
I was thinking about buying 5mm plate material.
Throw it on a vacuum plate and facemill the top.
But I have no idea if the vacuumplate can hold it good enough? No expierence with it.
And if the plate doesn't wrap anyway once I release it from the vacuumplate.
