A machining jig holds a workpiece with respect to a tool when machining the workpiece with the tool, the workpiece including a ridge that projects from an outer periphery of a cylindrical section in a radial direction and that extends so as to intersect a peripheral direction. The machining jig includes a holding jig that includes a cylindrical body section that is disposed at an outer periphery of the workpiece and a stopping section that projects inwardly from the body section and that stops a face of a surface of the ridge on a side where the tool leaves a processing portion of the ridge; and a coaxial base that is coaxial with the holding jig and to which the holding jig is coaxially fixed.

The present disclosure includes a part hold-down assembly for retaining an oversized part. The part hold-down assembly is aligned along a central force axis and applies a downward force onto the part. The part-hold down assembly includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a compression assembly extending between the top and bottom plates. The compression assembly includes two, parallel biasing assemblies that extend along compression axes that are parallel to but offset from the central force axis. Each biasing assembly including an upper collar, a lower collar and a resilient biasing member, in one embodiment in the form of a coil spring, retained between the upper and lower collar. The parallel biasing assemblies are positioned on opposite sides from each other about the central force axis, and may be spaced away from the central force axis an equal distance.
