2D contour - actual chamfer tool diameter

Hi,

I have get something strange when I use chamfer mill with 2D contour toolpath. I am confused which tool diameter is taken for computation.

2D contour toolpath -  I have selected  tool .375" dia  chamfer mill 45 deg with .01" tip diameter.  When I run it as a contour only without selecting chamfer option (at passes tab) looks like Fusion takes .01" tip diameter as a tool diameter and use it for toolpath calculation. Effect is that tool gets too deep into material and this is not intended.

When CHAMFER option is selected, the software takes actual tool diameter .375" and use it for toolpath calculation.

Is it bug?

Thank you, for moving forward with this option.

I am not sure if it goes together but the Multiple Depths option disappears in 2D contour toolpath whenever chamfer mill is used as a tool.

 

Thanks again
