Well, there is no doubt that 3D modeling and practical realization in the workshop are two things "a little" different.
I wanted to try, without using the "Path" Wb, to simulate the machining of machine tools to create what has been designed / modeled with FC, the result in the animated gif.
A discreetly equipped workshop would have no problem.

Well done. Only the milling tool cutting the rectangular cut-out should be coming from the side rather than from the top. It would still fit the way you cut away the separate strips.

As displayed the radius of the milling tool could hardly reach the previously drilled corner holes.

It should be noted, that FreeCAD is by far not limited to models that can be made on a mill. Think of 3D printing and you have a completely new game.

Hi FBXL5, greetings to the Community!
Well, the simulation of the milling is obviously only for display / demonstration, certainly not indicative of the direction of the cuts nor of the diameters of the tools, in any case it could be possible to create, based on the same workflow, an animation that is a little more complex and much much more adhering to reality.

I like the idea to show tool cross-sections with each step to display that is possible to reach each surface area with a certain real world milling tool.

Your example is excellent, but with the right orientation of the tool it would be perfect! :D

That's true.
But some are modelling real world objects to be manufactured traditionally (not 3D printed) and need to know about the tools and machines that have to be used to create certain geometry. And about the problems that occur (due to kernel issues) while trying to achieve a properly filleted/chamfered model.
