How does one machine/mill a square cornered slot that does not penetrate the entire thickness of a plate? I know I could file the corners of a full depth slotted hole, but one that isn’t full depth has me flummuxed.
Thanks! Tom
Hi Tom, you can buy special milling cutters to cut square holes, sounds impossible doesn’t it
