Now, show how to do it without distorting the circle! 😉 IOW, the circle is currently parallel to the face, so as you pocket at an angle you create an elliptical hole. Now, if we angle the circle, so it would be like a drill going through, you get a circular hole at an angle. This hole will form an elliptical entry/exit but a round cross section perpendicular to hole axis.
Cool. Thank you for that.
You bet!
Thanks so much! I'm new to freecad and I was wonder what dantumline was never thought I was looking at the answer all along!
You're so welcome!
Great tip!
Glad it was helpful!
