Does anyone know if it is possible to use an end mill tool in a drill function? We do lots of plastic parts with holes and c-bores for t-nuts, the standard hole for this is a 8mm through hole (Part is 0.750" thick) with a 20mm x 2mm c-bore. We use a 8mm O-Flute router bit which works great as a drill, it can plunge straight through then come up and do the c-bore pocket. So I can program the drill with it, but I can not use the same tool number to program the C-bores with. Is it somehow possible to do it this way or do I have to program them a pocket?
Also, is it possible somehow to get it to plunge down thru then come back up and do the c-bore all in ones step so then I can go on to the next hole and not have to come back?
