Gang mandrel
A gang mandrel is especially useful when machining operations have to be performed on a number of thin pieces which might easily be distorted, if held by any other method.

A gang mandrel consists of a parallel body with a
flange at one end and a threaded portion at the other end. The internal
diameters of work pieces are larger than the mandrel body diameters by not more
than 0.025 mm. A number of pieces can be mounted and held securely when the nut
is tightened against the ‘U’ washer. The nut should not be over-tightened,
otherwise inaccuracies will result. A gang mandrel is especially useful when machining operations have to be performed on a number of thin pieces which might easily be distorted, if held by any other method. |
