Volume-wise, of course.
Opinions?

I read some time ago somewhere that it was drilling.



I was under that impression also, but then like DobeDave I'm old.

Maybe with the new tooling things have changed, but then drills have
improved also.

Back in the seventies I watched a guy rough out a pocket in a
moldbase. Probably 18 to 24 inches square and 4 inches deep as I
recall. He drilled a series of large holes probably 2" dia. leaving
a small web. Took a sledge hammer and broke out the webs that were
left. Getting the first couple of webs out was hard, but after that
they popped right out.


How silly of me:
Sledgehammering! Of course...
Mebbe a mawl.....


So the Rhino pocketing via drilling appears to be an established
strategy.

Best,
Steve
