Hi guys
I’ve been working on a baseboard drilling cycle for my home grown cnc, however I think it will also work for an XXL. This is meant for an aluminium base and M6 holes. You set the machine at the front middle and click go.
3 Cam cycles, a round pass to check clearances, 306 holes, then 306 bevels.
They can be downloaded from here:

Are you going to tap those by hand or try thread milling them?

I wasn’t going to… but then I can’t think of a reason not to…
If only I had thought about it Monday and I would have bought a thread mill in time for this weekend.
Update, where can I buy one from?

They have threadmills. Not sure about UK shipping
EDIT: Oops, no metric, sorry.
But, ask, maybe they will make some.

Or you could spend 3/4 weeks DOING the threading.

Ah I can’t wait that long to thread it…
I have now had the machine running for 2/3 hours milling 321 5mm holes, and 15 10mm pockets… then 321 chamfers…
I will save the tapping for tomorrow, I need to lift the board out a fraction…
