Use the Chamfer Milling strategy to bevel sharp corners using specific chamfer tools. Chamfer milling is used to break sharp outside-edges of a model after it has been completely machined. Chamfer milling:
- minimises hand deburring operations
- improves part assembly, by adding a taper to one or both mating edges
- is used for aesthetic and safety reasons.
Chamfer milling produces a single finishing pass as chamfer tools are larger than the chamfer feature.
There are several pages associated with the Chamfer Milling strategy:
- Chamfer milling — The main page used to define a chamfer.
- Cut distances — Settings to enable multiple passes.
- Finishing — Settings to specify a final stepover or stepdown depth of cut value.
- Order — Settings to control the order of machining.
- Automatic verification — Settings to automatically verify toolpaths on creation.
The remaining pages are common toolpath strategy pages.
