making 3.2mm slot with 3.0mm end mill?

Post by kelderkold »

Hi I am new to this and I am making a slotcar track but my end mill i 3.00mm and I need the slot to be 3.2mm
I am routing on the line since the sections will not fit together if I route outside og inside the line.

So what is the tip to take an extra 0.1mm from each side at the end?

regards
Keld

Offset the vectors 0.1 to each side and cut those.
