Use the Feature Chamfer Milling strategy to bevel sharp corners using specific chamfer tools where the chamfer information is specified by the feature geometry. Feature chamfer milling is used to break sharp outside-edges of a model after it has been completely machined. Feature 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.
In many cases feature chamfer milling is used to produce a single finishing pass as chamfer tools are generally larger than the chamfer feature.
There are several pages associated with the Feature Chamfer Milling strategy:
- Feature chamfer milling — The main page to specify the options for the feature chamfer milling strategy.
- 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.
