angled bore ?

[pit202]

Hello all, I see many of wise people around , congratulations !

I have a simple question : how to make angled bore like in screenshot ?
The center of the bore is in center of the pocket.

Thanks
Peter

4th axis or angle plate
interpolate a flat then drill and bore or interpolate the hole
if your using a boring head and there is a tight tolerance on the bore and positioning , interpolate the start of the bore and leave only a few tenths for cleanup , if you dont you will probably have a messed up bore , it will end up out of round or worse , boring heads dont like interupted cuts

You can either make a construction sketch that has an angled line to extrude your cut along OR you can make a reference plane that is set at the correct angle.

i would put the bore in first so you wont have an interrupted cut at the top of the bore

fixture at the angle required then mill a flat normal to the bore at least as large as the bore

then drill or interpolate the bore leaving a wall tolerance then finish with a reamer or boring head

then reposition the part to put the counter bore in

didn't notice this was a Solidworks question

[dertsap]

me neither

Thank you guys ! the idea with the extruding angled line is tricky , I tried to do it with angled plane , but I have problems with aligning the center point.

Look at the attachment. I run 2005 so if you've got that year or newer, you should be able to open it.

Edit: Added another way to do it which may be easier for you to get the hole centered in the counterbore. It's a revolved cut.

oh , this is so easy when someone give a rigth direction , thanks all ! now I know !

Stupid of me to forget the revolve. especially considering that is my usual way of this type of feature.
I guess I will claim too much beer consumed after hockey as my excuse.
