Precision Slot Cars, in support of the F.C.R.- Flexi National championship series has designed a special fixture. This fixture is designed to work with all the chassis's, specific to the NCS series. This precision chassis fixture has front and rear axle posts for all the different wheel bases of.
Milling is the process of machining using rotary cutters to remove material by advancing a cutter into a work piece. This may be done varying direction on one or several axes, cutter head speed, and pressure. Milling covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations.

Also referred to as dimensional accuracy, machining tolerances is the amount of deviation in a specific dimension of a part caused by the manufacturing process.

Assigned as boundaries for acceptable build, dimensional tolerances are assigned to parts, with acceptable degrees of variation set simply because no machines are capable of precisely holding dimensions. When it comes to tolerances, the main concern is how wide the tolerance is able to be without ultimately affecting other factors or the outcomes of the process.

Once a part has been manufactured with dimensions that are out of tolerance, it becomes unusable as the main characteristics and functions of that part is not according to design intent. Tolerances are able to be applied to any dimension, with the following terms commonly used:

Lower Deviation

A slot machine (American English), known variously as a fruit machine (British English), puggy (Scottish English), the slots (Canadian English and American English), poker machine/pokies (Australian English and New Zealand English), fruities (British English) or slots (American English), is a gambling machine that creates a game of chance for its customers. Slot machines are also known. Mark Grizotsky proposes the following concept for machining precision thin slot and surface under angles: “There are times that we need to perform precision machining for thin slot and surface under-angles, with dimensions X and Y from the slot. See the sketch of the set.

This is the difference between the component's minimum possible size and the component's basic size.

Basic Size

This is the nominal diameter of the bolt (or the shaft) and the hole. This will generally be the same for both the components.

Upper Deviation

This is the difference between the component's maximum possible size and the component's basic size.

Fundamental Deviation

A form of allowance, fundamental deviation is the minimum size difference between the component and the basic size mentioned above. When the fundamental deviation is larger than 0, the bolt will be smaller than the basic size and the hole wider.

International Tolerance (IT) Grade

This is the maximum size difference between the component and the basic size.

In cases where no other tolerances are provided, the following standard tolerances are used:

Because CNC milling can offer such high tolerances and surfaces finishes, it is more commonly used for adding precision features to parts which have already been formed (in its basic shape) in a previous manufacturing process. Typically used to create parts which are not axially symmetric and that has features such as slots, holes, pockets and 3D surface curves.

Components manufactured completely using CNC milling are more often the type of components that are used in limited quantities, such as custom-made brackets and fasteners, or components for prototyping purposes.

Milling is also used to fabricate tooling that is used in other manufacturing processes.

CNC turning a process used for adding precise, rotational features to a component that has already been shaped in a previous manufacturing process. It is able to deliver high tolerances and good surface finishes, making it a choice for the adding of features or the refining of a component.

It is commonly used to yield parts that are rotational and axisymmetric, which have features such as tapers, threads, grooves and contoured surfaces. As with CNC milling, components that are fabricated using on this process tend to be components used in limited quantities, such as custom-made fasteners, or components made for prototyping purposes.
