Getting exact hole sizes in your woodworking projects with a CNC router is a known issue and there is a way to get the holes to the EXACT size.
Making holes the exact size requires a bit of understanding of how the program is set up. This trick will take you to the next level with your CNC router.
The tips in this video show you how the industry compensates for a well-known issue and how to compensate for it.
The reasons hole sizes vary are many..material variations, size of the hole, the machine, cutting tool, etc.
All cnc software has features that allow you to take this into account. It will be called “allowance” or “offset”. This will tell the program how to write the code to run holes with your CNC router.
When you enter an offset, you are telling the software to add or remove that amount from the tool diameter
