Any of you guys do this? All I've got to do is put in a few holes and cbores with a right angle head and I'm wondering what route to take for the programming.

I know I could accomplish what I need by manually drawing the toolpath with wireframe and just using contour 2D with a dummy tool. But if it isn't too much of a hassle, I'd rather try to do it the "right" way so if I need to do more programming like this in the future I'll know how.

I understand the machine def needs to be altered, will the post need to be altered as well? Anyone have any good resources for information on this topic? Thanks in advance!
