More of the Cam Bushing

   
   
   

I plunge cut between the clamps leaving 0.030 extra material to remove on my finish passes.
   
   
   

Once I had all the material plunge cut between the clamps I played musical clamps. Removed one clamp at a time to remove the material that was under the clamps.
   

I then found out that my sacrificial plate under the brass should have been smaller. The amount of excess out past the part now made it impossible to get the clamp in far enough to reach the part. So I had to locate the top of my rotary table and plunge cut the sacrificial plate. I stopped .010 short and just broke the excess off by wiggling it back and forth. I was really nervous about marking my rotary table. But it worked out perfect!
