Machining assumptions

Haas VF-2 · Aluminum 6061-T6
Ø6.8 mm drillRequired tool · not in the shop library

240 mm/min feed. Tip reaches 10.54 mm below the top face, including point length and breakthrough. Each peck retracts to clearance; rapid re-entry stops 0.5 mm above the previous tip depth.

Required tool: Ø6.8 mm drill. Its path is shown using the entered assumptions. Add or confirm this tool before releasing the job.

Partial route for known sample geometry. The exterior is treated as prepared. Sawing, facing, outside profiling, edge chamfers, tool changes, loading, deburring and inspection still need their own operations. The Ø6.8 clearance-hole diameter and fit need drawing confirmation. This model uses exact path lengths and scalar acceleration with a stop at each logical move; it does not check chip evacuation, workholding or holder collisions. Validate in CAM before machining.
