Undercut Holes - Is This Possible to Machine?
Undercut Holes - Is This Possible to Machine?
(OP)
On a part I am trying to design, it would be very convenient to add a couple of undercut holes, but I am not sure there is enough room to machine them (see the screen shot in the attached link). There is 2.35" between the face the holes are drilled in and the fins. There is .730" between the edges of the holes and the side walls.
Is this possible with standard machining techniques?

if space permits
it is possible to make a drill jig & drill with a "90 deg"right angle aircraft style drill attachment.

Double the thickness of the rib, mill from the top and bottom.

It's a hack, but a cheap way to get a clearance hole.
