Workpiece holder

摘要

A workpiece holder is provided for holding a workpiece, such as an airfoil, during a machining operation. The holder comprises a first mold part having a first resilient member shaped to conform to one side of the workpiece and a second mold part having a second resilient member shaped to conform to the other side of the workpiece. The mold parts are secured together with the workpiece sandwiched therebetween so that the resilient members in the respective mold parts abut against and hold the workpiece during a subsequent machining operation.
