- As part of your onboarding with the lathe, you will create a tool clamp post from 3/4" aluminum stock. It consists of 1 piece, done in four operations.
- The engineering drawing that you will follow to make the part are attached on the lathe. They will also be linked in this guide
- If you have any questions while completing the part, feel free to ask and SLM or LC in the lab!
