Good video. I've been a machinist for around 30 years, I currently run a Mazak Integrex e-410H II, I have used this technique many times to make large or odd angle chamfers or countersinks, I use a ball endmill, it takes longer but you don't have to worry about slight angle mismatching, also a ball endmill will always be the same shape regardless of manufacturer so the depth/diameter will be correct first time every time, also also you can use the same tool to make different angles for different features on the same part saving slots in your tool changer if that becomes an issue. Like you mentioned in your video the downside is more machine time. I work in a job shop where new parts are programmed and setup almost every day for almost every machine so being able to create multiple features with less tools is a big plus.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm working on a roundness tester for my billiard hobby, and needed to chamfer the ID of some threaded aluminum spacers from McMaster to JB weld a ball bearing in the resultant nest left by the chamfer. I'll have 3 of these sub-assy's that will cradle a billiard ball, as I spin it against a test indicator, checking the billiard ball runout. Things I learned from watching this video a few times: 1) My toolpath would not generate, because I had the tool type set to spot-drill instead of chamfer tool. 2) You can make a section in the manufacturing space and turn it on during the cutting simulation. Wow, that is a gem! 3) How to rough with a flat mill and then finish with a chamfer mill a large chamfer. Great job!

Holy smokes John, thank you. Been using Contour multiple depth with wall taper for years and your way is so much faster. This will make the feature on my part so much easier to produce. My old way got the job done, but is a pain if you don't get the wall taper exactly correct. Thanks again bud.

Thanks for this tip! I had this issue before and I never knew the bore tool path could do that. I solved it in a more hacky-fusion mindset. I made a lot of circles at different planes that intersected the chamfer and then used the 2D contour to make the individual paths. Way more complicated than your method.

Interesting John, If you get order your chamfer tools with a small top and bottom radii, Like .01",or.02" it makes a big difference on the blends. Nice video

@dmbworks80942 жыл бұрын
to do this i use a standard contour to chamfer with roughing passes and use chamfer tip offset to adjust the height by selecting the top of the chamfer and not the bottom. it works out a lot like the ramp tool path example except with roughing passes. i copy the tool path to add depths of cut. i dont trust cutting with the bottom of the chamfer tool but i do trust chamfer tools from lakeshore, helical and others to provide the most accurate chamfer tools and i have not had any noticeable machine lines from stepping down. not that my way is better, just thought id share one more way.

If you've roughed the hole, could you bore with the chamfer tool from the bottom up, so that most of the cutting is done with the larger radius part of the tool?

@@Eggsr2bcrushed It might be interesting to do a roughing pass as a series of almost max height stepdowns, say 3 or so of them, then come back with a ramp finishing pass with a fairly high helix angle.

Awesome video! Definitely gonna tuck this in the back of my head. Have you tried this method with a flat bottom chamfer tool? I ran into this and I had a similar thought to try but was worried the flat bottom would cause galling. What about a large straight chamfer along an outside edge?
