The approach I have typically taken is to call out the slot and let the vendor worry about how to actually make it. But I give "permission" for things that can be done. But from the vendor standpoint, without using a punch, the easiest way to make a rectangular slot is to overdrill the corners then use a round mill bit to do the square sides up to the overdrill. What you need to do for your fab drawing is make this possible by allowing overdrill in the corners by calling it out. The question for you is can you tolerate overdrilled corners for this type of action? -----Original Message----- From: ponni dhanapal [mailto:ponnidhanapal@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2004 11:34 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: drill hole...
