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;

  1. 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
  2. References tab > Holes > select axis or cylindrical surfaces to select hole positions
  3. Set the Start and End depths for the holes
Hole depth;

 

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.
