Abstract
A machining fixture configured to secure a blank part having part inner and outer circumferential surfaces, a part first axial face opposing a part second axial face, and at least two threaded part openings extending inwardly from the part second axial face and toward the first axial face. The machining fixture includes an annular body sized to be disposable upon a pallet of a machine table and has an upper surface including a substantially flat annular surface section, opposing lower surface and at least two through-holes extending between the upper and lower surfaces. At least two fasteners are disposed at least partially within a separate one of the at least two through-holes such that the at least two fasteners project upwardly from the upper surface, and the at least two fasteners are configured to threadedly engage a separate one of the at least two part openings to removably clamp the part second face against the body flat surface section.
