OVERSIZED CHAMFER

[Gmar111]

Trying to chamfer 30deg x .050 deep on 1.751 dia. The chamafer becomes oversized not sure why ? Any help greatly appreciated. Please check attachments. Tool .375 dia x 60deg  included. Blue line is for reference purpose (.05 from top face) only to make one see tool cuts either too deep or tool compensation failure.

Just to be clear, your trying to give the top of the hole "1.751" a .050 chamfer? I am wondering because the path you have used says 2d contour, so my thought would be the tool "30°" is trying to use the center of the tool to make the contour. Did you see the 2d Chamfer Tool Path Option in the 2D menu at the bottom? You might want to try that and set the offset to .050.

Cheers

Correct, 2d contour has CHAMFER option under PASSES  that I selected.  I gave it .05 chamfer witdth (maybe thats my mistake  because I want .05 deep not wide ) and .2 chamfer tip offset. I figured it out with 2d CHAMFER TOOLPATH but had to apply chamfer to cad model this is kind of tricky if you don't pay enough attention. Thanks for taking time to reply.

When you run cursor over CHAMFER WIDTH  for a sec. it'll show the WIDTH is defined along tool axis which is depth another words. So I don't know why is it doing it.
