Some dimensions may be good...

length / width & material thickness ?

how many holes & their diameter ?

cutting tool diameter ?

1" material- 16" long. 5" wide
3 holes (pockets) 2.75"
1/2" deep

The holes need to be far enough away that there's Aprox 1.5" clearance for the beer

Hi ,
Did you try to run that code on a machine?
It was not cutting the shapes correct
It was way out.
I'm guessing it could be at my end

Thanks for your Intrerest

The largest endmill I have is 3/8"
But the shape was way off plus the holes were not round

There definitely is something wrong with the earlier toolpath - it was avoiding a work clamp or something weird.

Try this one - you may need to adjust feed-rates etc to suit your machine.

Tweakie I think there's something wrong with that code as well.
If not it's at my end
