Recesses and pockets

Search

A recess (colloquially — a pocket) is a cavity milled in the plane of the part along a set contour. It is made for built-in handles, locks, hinges, niches and similar elements. A recess is set on the front or back side of the part.

What is configured

  • shape of the recess — rectangle, rounded rectangle or circle;
  • sizes — length, width and radius;
  • position — reference point (by center or from the edge) and coordinates;
  • depth — a blind recess or a through one (across the full thickness of the part);
  • processing of the inner edge — if the recess is a through one.

Details are in the subcategories below.
