# CNC machining: references

44 records: 7 read sources that the rules and checks may cite, and 37 records catalogued from the Reference Map, not yet read. Milled and turned parts.

Catalogued records are search snippets: their numbers are the authors' claims and their licences are as the map states them, unread. Cite one only after reading it.

The same records as JSON: https://cad-agent.valpatel.com/catalog/references/cnc-machining.json. All areas: [references](../references.md).

## Coverage

What cad-agent checked when the map was made; each drafted issue was never posted.

- **CNC: internal corner radius, pocket depth, tool access** (Partly): Rules in YAML only; dfm.check has no corner, pocket or tool-reach kinds and no geometry measurement; no 3-axis access/undercut analysis, thin-wall or tapped-hole depth checks. Drafted issue, never posted: "Add CNC kinds to dfm.check and a tool-access analysis".
