I use
90 chamfer tools all the time, since it is a 90 deg tool, the dia is twice the
depth. I almost always use this tool @ .100" deep. I put a tool note in to set
comp to .1" minus chamfer amount and let the operator adjust. We code to part
profile, not tool center so our offsets are half tool dia. I put the tool path
right along to part profile at .100" deep and code it. With a .1" dia offset the
tool will not touch the part. They have usually deducted an amount close to what
is needed so they don't have to fudge too much on the dia
offset.

Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Chamfer ToolI would like to either circular interpolate or chamfer an edge using a 45 degree cutting tool. How do you go about calculating what diameter tool to put into the step process field and does the flute length have anything to do with it.I am using a Valenite 45 deg. mini-mill: s-vmsp-081r-45Thank youColin Williams
