Hello,
Let me clarify, this is a "through" pocket. Perhaps it would be better called an extrusion.
I want to get input regarding deep pocket milling. For instance, let's say I have a 3 inch 1018 plate, that needs a 12" by 12" pocket milled out of the middle.
Now, instead of cutting the entire pocket, is there a proficient way to only cut around the edges of pocket and have the remnant drop through?
Waterjet or laser is not an option-"they" want it done "in-house."
Thanks!
