internal nut fixing |

I am struggling for a proper looking solution to some internal nuts for my diehead project and I have decided to throw it out here to see if anyone has a better way than I am currently doing it. I have the part pictured and need to mill the highlighted part out leaving the tang which prevents this hidden nut from just spinning inside the diehead shank. I have made a fixture that fits into a ER32 collet fitted to my rotary table. I then bring a 5mm cutter down so it just hits the smaller diameter and turn the table through 315 degrees which does the job but i am having to get the cutter closer to the smaller diameter than I would like which is leaving a ridge down the part which wont hurt anything but just looks shoddy in my opinion. |

I can't visualise how you're doing this. I assume that the axis of the cutter is perpendicular to the axis of the part? In that case how do you get a straight sided key without a radius where the key meets the head? Phil. |

If I grok what you are doing... you could use a large diameter slotting cutter and avoid se radii in your slot. Sent from my SM-G715A using Tapatalk |

Here we are this is how I am doing it now, I put one already done in place and you can see the problem. |
