I'm hijacking this thread since all the experts chimed in... Intercon - circular pocket. I have a 3/8" dia end mill = 9.525mm and I need to make a counterbore of 10.1mm x 10mm deep. I can't seem to get the program to post. It gives me an error on the circular pocket line but I don't know what the error is. Could it be that the pocket diameter is too small for my endmill? If so, how do I make a counterbore without having a tool with exact diameter?
Quick test whats Intercon puts out with an 9.525mm mill:
