Re: CNC Machining Bearing Blocks

We do ours out of 2x2" square bar stock that we hold in softjaws in a 6" vise. We do two at a time out of a piece of 6" long stock. We machine the bearing side first, then pull it out, machine the softjaws to that profile, flip it upside down into the softjaws, and then machine the side with the tube. Simple process. I recommend http://monsterjaws.com/
