Obviously I could use a thread locker but this would dramatically slow down set up.
The problem is the shoulder bolts are quite small (4-40) as the parts are tiny and the bolts work themselves loose while machining the part. Finally, I aligned and touched off the plate and let the machine rip. I then created a fixture plate out of 1/2" aluminum and used shoulder bolts to pin the material to the fixture plate. These holes corresponded to the design so it worked out nicely.

To date I've done this:ġ) Drilled a series of mounting holes in a piece of raw stock. I've tried doing a variety of things on my smaller machine and some things work well but none of them seem to scale up effectively.

09" - I'm looking for advice on how to machine these style of parts as quickly as possible - basically set up the machine to create a ton of them and come back in a few hours to find them all done. I've attached an image that represents the type of parts I make currently - basically 2d profiles around the whole perimeter with some drilling and a little bit of pocketing to create the retaining channels. The problem is, I'm not sure the best way to do that and I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction. This new machine is both much larger and faster so I want to leverage that all I can. With my previous machine, I was only able to make one or two parts at a time and it took forever to machine much at all. For reference, I sell small parts to people making radio-controlled four to eight rotor helicopters (quadcopters). I think I've gotten to be reasonably good at the few operations I need to make my parts but I recognize that I have a very long ways to go. I'm a total amateur at CNC machining and have slowly been learning all the ins and outs as I go. Hi all I've moved on from my tiny import CNC mill I converted myself to a real (though still a budget model) 3 axis CNC machine with 24" x 15" table travel.
