In this operation the depth of the cut was controlled by removing shims that had been placed between the workpiece and a 1-2-3 block mounted on the Transfer Block. The dovetails were made parallel by traversing the first side machined with a test indicator before making the final cut. This was a typical milling machine operation performed on the lathe. |
