Anyone who’s made holes understands the difficulties that can arise: vibration, wander and even breakage. When it comes to production-level volume, these issues become even more limiting. Many turn to helical interpolation with a mill as a reliable way to rough out holes. We’re here to tell you there’s a faster, easier option.

Using helical interpolation to open holes is common practice. And in shallow holes or one-off projects, it’s a fine choice.

Making a hole with very tight tolerances is often a two-part process. When starting from scratch, a drill is used first to create the hole.

Here are a few tool and part holding considerations for getting the most out of a mill-turn machine.
