I need to mill about a 3.75" hole through a piece of aluminum about 1.75" thick. What is the best strategy to accomplish this on a cnc mill. Is it best to us a pocketing strategy and mill out the entire hole from the center out, or would it be better to use some kind of cutting strategy and mill some size slug out of the middle? I can see the first option being simpler, but the 2nd option saves a potentially useful piece of material, but with the added complication of how to hold and prevent the chunk of scrap from wreaking havoc when cut free.
