Chamfer (drilling)

Use the Chamfer page to create a chamfer without having to define the hole as a tapered hole.

Note: This page is available only if you select an Operation of Chamfer on the main Drilling page.

Note: If you have a Cycle Type of Single Peck, Ream, or Counter bore, the tool must be larger than the hole.
Note: If you have a Cycle Type of Profile, or helical, the tool must be smaller than the hole.

Diameter — Enter the diameter at the top of the hole. Initially this is the diameter of the hole without the chamfer. As you enter a Width, the diameter changes to be the diameter of the original hole plus twice the width value.

Width — Enter the increase in radius at the top of the hole.

Tooltip Clearance — Enter the distance between the lower edge of the chamfer and the tip of the tool. This option is available only if you select a Cycle type of Profile on the main Drilling page.

Note: You must use a drill or a tapered tool.
