1 more element
A process for forming laterally disposed holes that are in fluid communication with one another within a component, the process including:
- a) machining the component in a first axis to define a blind first hole, wherein a depth of machining the component in the first axis is greater than a final depth of the first hole;
- and
- b) machining the component in a second axis to define a second hole in lateral relation to the first hole, wherein machining the component in the second axis is configured to open up and dispose the blind first hole in fluid communication with the second hole.
