Drawing Review for an Angled Hole
CNC Machining Process Guide
Follow one angled through-hole from the drawing to tool access, setup and finished-part inspection.

Product Overview
Consider an illustrative bracket with an angled through-hole. The drawing uses the mounting face and two adjacent faces to establish the datum reference system. The hole enters one machined face and exits another. Before planning the setup, identify the intended entry side, the location of the hole axis and the reference from which its direction is defined. Resolve any discrepancy between the drawing and model before using them to plan the operation.
Key Features
- Read the entry and exit faces together. Their geometry affects the room available to start the hole and clear it at breakthrough.
- Identify where the drawing locates the hole axis. An opening on a sloping face can look elliptical in a face view. The drawing defines how the bore is located and oriented.
- Use the specified mounting and locating faces to carry that reference into setup and inspection.
Manufacturing Considerations
- Check the tool and holder along the approach, cut and withdrawal. Review clearance to the part, clamps and supports, including room beyond the exit face.
- Compare an angled fixture with an indexed setup that holds the part at a fixed orientation during cutting. Either may suit a straight hole if the approach is clear, the part is stable and the drawing datums can be established.
- If the part moves to a separate setup, plan how to re-establish the specified datums before machining the hole. Review the effect of relocation on the features that must remain related.
- If no practical setup provides tool access and preserves the required datum relationships, return the part for design review or assess an alternative machining process before proceeding.
Quality Control & 检验
- Establish the drawing datum reference system on the finished part. Inspect hole diameter and any specified entrance or exit condition.
- Where the drawing controls the hole axis, use an agreed method that can establish its position and direction. A single opening measurement cannot establish the axis direction. Verify the applicable position or orientation requirement as specified on the drawing.
- Confirm inspection access before choosing the setup. If the bore is hard to reach, agree on a suitable method or approved alternative reference during review.
Specifications to Confirm
| Datum Reference System | Identify the mounting and locating faces, with their order as specified on the drawing. |
|---|---|
| Hole Definition | Provide diameter, the axis location and direction, and the intended entry and exit faces. |
| Clearance and Support | Identify nearby walls, required breakthrough clearance and any areas that must remain clear of clamps. |
| Material and Quantity | Provide the grade, stock condition and required prototype or repeat-order quantities. |
| Acceptance Requirements | Identify the applicable hole requirements, final surface condition and any required inspection record. |
Assembly Considerations
Locating in the Fixture
Locate and support the bracket using a setup that can reproduce the specified references.
Tool Approach
Confirm that the cutter and holder clear the workpiece and fixtures from entry through withdrawal.
Inspection Access
Confirm how the accepted datum faces and the bore can be reached in the inspection setup.
