So whenever we machine a window out of a plate, the inside part often gets in the way and can break the tool if you don't feedhold and physically remove the inside portion. If we are running "lights out" this is bad.
Sometimes we will resort to machining the inside of a window area as a pocket so as to reduce inside portion to chips which are easily flushed out by flood coolant.
Sometimes we will leave it attached by .01" or so and then just break it out and debur the edge to blend it in but that is not ideal and creates a lot of unnecessary work.
Does anyone have a technique they would like to share?
