Fixturing

[Cp5010]

Hello all,

Need ideas for holding this part to machine rad on top. Its not one off part so fixture would be ideal. Its approx. 3 inch tall and 0.5 inch dia at bottom. Milling it on 3-axis. 

Thanks in advance.

The reduced end does not look round so you are most likely going to have to make this in one setup as there is no way to locate the part.

We use 5C collets to hold parts like this using a fixture like these (to hold small round stock).

I'd do it all in one operation, part it off to length with a slitting  saw
