DO NOT drill any holes deeper than 10mm – there is a likelihood that the drill flutes will become clogged and the drill break. If your hole needs to be deeper than 10mm deep, then drill a 10mm deep pilot hole which can be completed in the machine shop.
Activate the Standard Drilling tool
Work through the options and tabs in the Trajectory Mill dashboard;
- Drop down tool list in Tool window to select a tool from the Tool Library. Edit Tools to create a new tool in the Tool Library
- References tab > Holes > select axis or cylindrical surfaces to select hole positions
- Set the Start and End depths for the holes
DO NOT use the the default Auto setting as this is likely to drill through the workpiece. Ensure that any depths are Blind (to a defined depth) and are set relative to the start surface of the hole
DO NOT drill through the stock material.
DO NOT use a negative figure for the hole depth – drill can only drill downwards so the direction does not need to be defined and you do not have to specify the depth as a Z coordinate.
Parameters tab > set appropriate tool Parameters from the Machining Parameters page – there is no horizontal feed only Plunge feed
