Method for milling a cutout in a workpiece, and workpiece having a cutout

A method for milling a cutout comprising:

• providing a workpiece having first and second opposite sides, and a body extending between said opposite sides;
• providing a milling cutter having a longitudinal axis;
• positioning said milling cutter in a first orientation relative to said workpiece such that said milling cutter contacts said first side of said workpiece;
• using said milling cutter when positioned in said first orientation to cut a cutout in said workpiece, said cutout having a plurality of peripheral edges and corners, wherein said longitudinal axis of said milling cutter is parallel to said peripheral edges in said first orientation;
• positioning said milling cutter in a second orientation, said second orientation being angled relative to said first orientation of the milling cutter;
• and
• using said milling cutter when positioned in said second orientation to further cut the corners of the cutout.

A method for milling a cutout in a workpiece comprising:

• providing a workpiece having a first side and a second side and defining a thickness therebetween;
• providing a milling cutter having a longitudinal axis;
• using said milling cutter to form a first cutout in said workpiece by entering the workpiece from said first side of said workpiece, said first cutout having peripheral sides having a first depth and corners joining said peripheral sides together, said first depth being less than the thickness of said workpiece;
• using said milling cutter to form a second cutout in said workpiece by entering the workpiece from said second side of said workpiece, said second cutout having peripheral sides having a first depth and corners joining said peripheral sides together, said second depth being less than the thickness of said workpiece;
• and
• wherein portions of said first cutout and said second cutout overlap each other along the thickness of said workpiece.
