Is there a way to compensate the path for the forces on the tool?
Yes and here are some examples:
For drilling .010 holes a peck drilling cycle was used and had a dwell time at just below the surface to allow the drill to center itself and then peck in small steps
along with the appropriate feedrate as to not bend or allow the drill to deflect.
Drilliing thru a hardened piece of stock RC 55-60 a 1/2" carbide spade drill was used with a slow but constant feedrate.
Drilling a 1 1/4" hole in steel plate a center drill hole was first used, and then progresssively the drill size was increased.
My point is simple and echo other replies. The work piece must be held appropriately, correct tool for the application, and appropriate feedate rates ( manual or computer controlled),
and practical judgement applied to the task.
You will never drill a sized hole when the material is deflecting and trying to compensate for that is just a waste of time.
Your going to get hurt or possible create an uncontrolled situation because of ignorance on your part.
Sorry, care about your safety and not your personal feellings.
That said,
You can calculate the forces for metal but to my knowledge there is nothing available for wood. All the calculations are subjective and used along with
engineering judgement.
