Square-to-round

[Tom Griffin]

I machined the piece today and came out perfect. I decided to use the milling machine and a rotary table, as I felt it was the method I could relate to the best and also sounded like the safest bet for my experience level. After rough milling the circle, I chucked it up in the lathe, finished the OD and drilled the center hole to dimension. Thanks for all of your suggestions!:thumbsup:

Thanks for the follow up.

As you can see, there are many different approaches to machining a part. The trick is learning which ones will bring you success and which will cause you grief. That's the fun of machining!
