Cutting a 1/4 in hole

When
i am trying to cut holes it is off. If I set it up for a 1/4 in hole It makes a 1/2 in hole. What ever size I put in it doubles Any one know why.
Thank You

What size tool are you using?

If a 1/4" tool, then you should use a Drill toolpath:

If a smaller tool, then machine as a pocket:

However, you should not cut as a No Offset Contour:

which will result in a 1/2" hole.

And just to say it out loud…the circle option asks for radius not diameter

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally made a circle twice as large as expected because of this :sweat_smile:

Can I get a big AMEN!
(I keep forgetting that too, fusion does diameter so switching I forget. Both ways :roll_eyes:)
