I made a cap for my vacuum fixture. Unfortunately, I can't drill a 16" deep hole.

What is the point of having a fully constained drawing if Fusion freezes every time you try to change something? What do you do while you are waiting for fusion to calculate a few thousand dimensions.

Replying to @JackIsLearning

@JackIsLearning it lovely chat today. You asked me today what tolerance I cut my stock to. For today's project I cut my stock to .03"-.06" on all sides using a quality steel rule and my twice rebuilt harbor freight horizontal bandsaw. Looking forward to cutting my @noxmetals 7075 plate with my new t-slot clamps.

Remember, we are all standing on the shoulders of giants. Everything we have was pioneered by men better than us. Are you going to create something that outlives you? Create something the next generation can stand on.

Are you trying to hold a .001" profile? You need to manage tool deflection. A spring pass runs the same toolpath a second time,ideally cutting nothing, but you can still hear how much material was left from deflection on the first pass. That same deflection will also put a taper on the part. If you’re using a face mill, run an indicator across the surface after the cut and you’ll usually find it isn’t flat; .003" of variation is common. Drop the face mill another .001", it skims the peaks and leaves the valleys, and you can walk the part into a flat surface that way.
