Abstract
A method for bonding a first part made of a composite to a second part to a predetermined dimension is disclosed. The method includes placing an insert into the first part, a first surface of the insert protruding beyond the predetermined dimension; machining the insert until the first surface is at the predetermined dimension; placing the second part on the insert; and fastening the second part via the insert. The use of an insert makes it possible to produce, with high precision, a reproducible assembly, which can still be dismantled.
