NEED HELP PUTTING CHAMFER AROUND PIPE FOR WELD PREP

[dmech1]

I HAVE TRIED USING SWEEP WITH A TRIANGLE PROFILE USING THE INSIDE PROFILE OF THE SADDLED HOLE AS A PATH AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE PIPE AS A GUIDE SURFACE AND HAVE CAME UP CLOSE TO WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR BUT I REALLY NEED MY CHAMFER TO VARY FROM ALMOST VERTICLE AT THE TOP OF THE PIPE TO HAVING A ANGLE THAT COMES ABOUT 3/4" DOWN FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE SADDLED HOLE..IF I COULD GET A CONSISTENT 45 DEGREE CHAMFER ALL THE WAY AROUND WILL KEEPING THE PROFILE OF THE SADDLED HOLE THAT WOULD PROBABLY WORK AS WELL.ITS FOR A Y PIPE ASSEMBLY THAT IS GOING TO HAVE THE BRANCH PIPE CHAMFERED TO WHERE THEY CAN GET 100 PERCENT WELD.. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Hi,

just follow this way

THANKS FOR THE ASSISTANCE BUT I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A CHAMFER TO GO ALL THE WAY TO THE INSIDE DIAMETER OF THE BRANCH PIPE SO THAT WHEN IT SITS ON TOP OF THE HOLE ON THE RUN PIPE A WELDER CAN GET FULL PENETRATION AND BUILD THE WELD UP AROUND THE PIPE..SO THE MATERIAL THAT THAT WRAPS AROUND THE RUN PIPE IS NOT NEEDED OR WANTED BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE IT TOO DIFFICULT TO GET A FULL PENETRATION WELD.

perhaps this is what your after?

p.s. maybe stop using all caps?  most of the internet interprets all caps as yelling.

Is this simply a modeling exercise or will you transfer your chamfer geometry to the real world via CAM or paper templates?

This was done by using an offset face on the  angled pipe (The horizontal one is to be modified).  Use the offset face to split a copy of the body of the horizontal pipe.  Loft between the outside split and the inside split. This is then used to split the original horizontal pipe.  Remove the excess.

Notes:

The angle between these pipes is about 50 degrees, so the cut would not be quite as extreme on 45 degrees.

The cutout in the angled pipe would be created as in @g-andresen video.

Yes that looks like what im looking for. Sorry about the caps, just used to using them, as im not much of a forum or web poster. Thank You
