Chamfer on hole on the outdside diameter of a turned part

Anonymous — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 21:17:11 GMT

I Want to be able to chamfer these holes using a chamfer mill. The machine has Y axis and rotary tools. I need the chamfer to be uniform as the model shows. I thought I could just pick the surface and use feature recognition but I can not figure this out. I have attached the featurecam file.

Hey, try the following:

1.) Construct-->Curve-->From Surface-->Surface Edges and select the inner edge of the campfer.

2.) New Feature-->Turn Mill-->Chamfer-->(...)-->3D-Chamfer.

Dont be irritated by any weird display. Finish the feature.

3.) Open by doubleclick its properties and go to "Tool Axis". Select "Use rotary X tool" and adjust dimensions / settings to your needs

4.) you're done 🙂

hope this helped!

Thanks, I would go into turning the surface into a curve but kept getting that goofy looking display and kept thinking I was doing something wrong. I went and did it just now, ignored it and was able to get it to work. I had to mess around with the tip offset and depth but I was able to get it. Thank you.

matttias is correct, you can achieve that chamfer by using 3d chamfer
