programming double angle cutter for deburring tubes
This is my first time programming a double angle cutter for deburring. I feel like I have the top hole in the tubing figured out, though if you have any suggestions for a cleaner way to do it I'm open. My main problem is that I can't figure out how to get the bottom hole without the tool retracting out all the way between deburr bottom 1 and deburr bottom 2. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
See attached file the toolpaths in question are in the set up folder labeled Double angle deburr.

I first opened your project and to be honest WOW that's a ton of drilling ops. Have you considered using "Patterns" to reduce the programming work? you can program all the ops for one of your pieces and use a Pattern to apply it to all of them (or at least the ones with equal spacing). Or you could just select multiple holes in one drill op, it would save you a ton of time and if you need to make changes it applies to all of them. Also wondering why you have a top and bottom op for every hole, why not just do both at the same time with one operation? I'm kinda confused about your deburr question though could you elaborate a bit more?

I think what @adventuremetal wants is for the chamfer tool to enter and leave through the centre of the hole to avoid the tool crashing when back chamfering or chamfering the lower hole.

I haven't looked into patterns but I'm getting ready to set a very similar fixture for a different parts so I'll give it a try. I have an op for hole on the top of the tube and an op for the hole on the bottom of the tube so I can rapid thru the tube to the second wall.
What I'm trying to do with the the chamfer op is to not have the tool do a full retract to the stock top between chamfering the top of the second wall and the bottom of that wall. Does that make sense?
