    angled bore ?

    Hello all, I see many of wise people around , congratulations !

    I have a simple question : how to make angled bore like in screenshot ?
    The center of the bore is in center of the pocket.

    Thanks
    Peter

    4th axis or angle plate
    interpolate a flat then drill and bore or interpolate the hole
    if your using a boring head and there is a tight tolerance on the bore and positioning , interpolate the start of the bore and leave only a few tenths for cleanup , if you dont you will probably have a messed up bore , it will end up out of round or worse , boring heads dont like interupted cuts

    You can either make a construction sketch that has an angled line to extrude your cut along OR you can make a reference plane that is set at the correct angle.

    i would put the bore in first so you wont have an interrupted cut at the top of the bore

    fixture at the angle required then mill a flat normal to the bore at least as large as the bore

    then drill or interpolate the bore leaving a wall tolerance then finish with a reamer or boring head

    then reposition the part to put the counter bore in

    Thank you guys ! the idea with the extruding angled line is tricky , I tried to do it with angled plane , but I have problems with aligning the center point.

    Look at the attachment. I run 2005 so if you've got that year or newer, you should be able to open it.

    Edit: Added another way to do it which may be easier for you to get the hole centered in the counterbore. It's a revolved cut.

    Stupid of me to forget the revolve. especially considering that is my usual way of this type of feature.
    I guess I will claim too much beer consumed after hockey as my excuse.
