Is this possible to CNC
Is this possible to CNC
(OP)
I did an analysis in solidworks and it said a few features are inaccessible, I am assuming it is saying that because of the radius in these grooves. This part will eventually be cast, but for a quick turnaround for proto we want to machine them. Aluminum, plates, overall length of the part is about 7``x 3.5 ``. have a look at the pic attached, can these features be made? alternatives if not possible?

The one marked 2 is difficult because of the feather edge.
The other two are easy with a ball type end mill.
The features that trouble me are the small corner radii in the
rectangular holes, which require a skinny cutter projecting very far from its collet to clear the adjacent shoulder features.

What is the size of the part, and radii?
