Rough machining is not the optimal production approach for the intersecting holes.

Go back and choose the other method.

Machining

The upper accelerator casting has two intersecting holes for fitting the actuator and the drive cylinder.

  • The primary cylinder has a 1" ID; the secondary hole has a 3/8" ID. Machined tolerances are +/- 0.003".

A two-step machining process would be required to meet the tolerance and precision requirements.

Rough machining both holes will be cost prohibitive, compared to producing the holes by cores in a net-shape casting.
