- jdietrich 11y agoIt's trivial to drill gently curved holes in wood using a Forstner bit or a suitably shaped spade bit. You can cut the workpiece in half, rout or mill a curved channel in both halves and fasten the two halves back together. You can use a curved electrode with electrochemical or electrical discharge machining. Of course, the best option is to design the part without a curved hole in the first place.
- marshray 11y agoElectrical discharge machining, seriously? Not even well equipped machine shops are likely to have such specialized equipment. I think you're proving his point that subtractive fabrication technologies have their limits (as do additive).
