PROCESS APPROACH
Control the important relationships.
- Establish a common turning datum for critical diameters
- Use supported machining for slender sections
- Separate roughing and finishing passes to manage distortion
INSPECTION PLAN
Measure against function.
- Micrometer checks on journals
- Runout inspection from specified datum
- Thread gauge and shoulder position verification
FINISH & OUTCOME
Passivated.
A stable turning sequence focused on fit, runout and repeatability for assembly-critical features.
