Deburr: trouble to control 5-axis chamfering

Hello,

 

I often need to obtain tool paths like the one below, but somehow I don't understand how to get the orientation right. Also, it seems, that climb and conventional cutting are doing exactly opposite.

 

This is the tool path I need:

And these are the results I'm getting, when doing slightly different part:

Can somebody help to understand how to get it right?

I'm able to share files privately only.

The only way I found so far is to copy model, delete modeled chamfer and use this model for deburring and add chamfer width in deburring operation, but is there a way to make it right with a modeled chamfer as well?

Hi

 

Deburr is primarily designed for machining unmodeled chamfers, basically to break edges.

 

To machine a modelled chamfer like that you can use swarf/advanced swarf

@a.laasW8M6T Thanks for explaining, I'll keep that in mind. 

 

I have some more questions about the 'Debur' operation:

For the same example, why do I need to choose "conventional" cutting to make the cutter move in the "climb" direction as on the picture?

And another one:

When deburing with ball mill, the "unreachable corners" parameter seems to be doing exactly opposite of what you select in operation. Or do I understand this parameter wrongly?

Hi

 

The Climb/Conventional thing may be a Bug I'm not really sure.

 

 

The Do not deburr setting will normally miss stuff it can't reach but in a Recent Update there was also added the Allow partial cuts checkbox which may be affecting the behavior there.

 

If you want to email me the files to look at I'll see if I can get some time this week to check them out.
