Best way to cut a 50mm whole?

[kumaichi]

Hi,

Relatively new to Pro/e Manufacturing and I'm wondering what is the best way to cut out a 50mm whole. I tried to drill it out but I would like to use a 13mm end mill because I don't have a 50mm drill bit. Can anyone give me some pointers or places to look in the help to remove this material?

Thanks in advance,

Craig

Craig,

There are several ways this hole can be cut. The easiest would be to create a trajectory milling seq. and select the edge of the hole as the traj. If the hole has not been predrilled and is still a solid piece then you should try a volume milling seq. and use the edge of the hole to create a mill window then set your parameters accordingly
i.e. stepover and depth of cut for each pass. this should get you started.
