Milling, drilling, boring and tapping are planned around the approved drawing. Multi-axis or 5-axis machining is selected where geometry and access require it. Workholding and machining sequences are planned to control hole-to-hole and hole-to-face relationships.
Curved surfaces, open recesses and fork profiles are machined to the customer's CAD model. DFM review addresses cutter access, internal radii, section thickness and workholding. Proposed geometry changes require customer approval before manufacture.
Bore diameter, fork gap, mounting-hole spacing and datum relationships are controlled to the drawing. Reaming or boring is selected for the specified fit, with pin clearance, bearing seats and geometric tolerances defined individually.
Hole edges, fork openings and machined recesses are reviewed for burr removal. Polishing and other material-compatible finishes are specified separately from dimensional requirements. Functional bores and mounting faces are protected or rechecked after finishing.
