    Question How to drill hole without center drill first?

    How do I get BobCad to generate the g-code to drill a hole without first doing a center drill step?

    Does BobCad always do a center drill first?

    Thanks for the help,

    Gridley

    Go to your Cam Tree and then go here > Cam Part > Milling Tools > Part > Tool Pattern and then delete the center drill from whichever type of hole you want to use, either with or without chamfer.

    Doing it under "Part" should only affect the part you are working on, if you want it like that all the time then delete it under "Default".

    See image below.
