Holding parts nearly to big for the machine, this is a job that I started yesterday (1 part) and may be scaled up or down for a particular sized machine.
I use an aluminum fixture plate mounted to a face plate in the lathe, drilled and tapped it to mount the part. This particular plate has been used for quite a few different parts, lots of holes.
Remove lathe gap, and mount faceplate.
Mount and face fixture on faceplate, reface it every time it is used as it will not remain flat.
Mount part and indicate as best as possible.
Hopefully this may answer some of the work holding questions that are often posted.
