I have not worked with this sized material before. It's a in-shop project. Job requires 6 holes with a finish size of 3" 0.000/+.005
Plate is 24x54 , the only machine it will fit on is our #4 vertical mill. This mill does not have a quill.
Mill in good condition, table feeds do work, 17x84 table so there is room to move around.
Assume.....after some research.......use a spade drill 2 15/16 then bore to finish??
Is there any other method I'm missing??? We don't have a selection of drills to work from small to large
Would have to purchase a spade bit holder/blade...........so asking for advice before the purchase.
Currently the plate OD will be cut by our steel supplier, didn't ask about roughing out the holes, concerned about a hardened/oblong surface to deal with on our end.
The plate will be cut with an oxy setup per Steel Co info
