Work process from drawing to finished part
Step by step from reading drawing to part measured and approved
Use this procedure on a machining task. It ensures that you make the right part — and can prove it is right.
§1. Understand the drawing
- 01PLACEHOLDER_118
- 02Confirm the material and find the correct part
- 03Mark the critical dimensions that must be hit precisely
§2. Plan
- 01Determine the sequence of processes
- 02Choose tool, cutting data and clamping
- 03Think through where something can go wrong
§3. Process
- 01Clamp the component safely up and adjust the machine
- 02Drive carefully the first time and keep an eye out
- 03Use cooling and keep chips away from the cut
§4. Measure and approve
- 01Measure with correct measuring equipment against the tolerances
- 02Approve first when all critical dimensions are within tolerance
- 03Document goals and any program for next time
