Abstract
A slave assembly is provided to protect an anodic workpiece joined to a shuttle from stray electrochemical machining. The assembly includes a slave having a support flange joined integrally with a sacrificial flange positionable adjacent to the workpiece for being electrochemically machined along with the workpiece to prevent stray electrochemical machining between the sacrificial flange and the workpiece. A retainer is positionable on the slave support flange to clamp the slave to the shuttle.
