Pockets in Al plate update
The job went well. It would have been a breeze with a CNC mill! I used a
3/4" center cutting endmill plunged into the center then did a "X" and "Y" feed close to the OD and a square pattern using the DRO. After doing this to all 35 pockets I finished the ODs with a boring bar in a boring head. This job would have been hell without the DRO. It would be nice to have a CNC mill but I do so very few jobs that a CNC would shine that I just can't justify it. Besides, doesn't a CNC setup make it difficult to use the mill in manual mode? |
