When Is A Chamfer Not?
(OP)
At what point do you stop calling a feature a Chamfer on drawings? When it is larger than 1/2", 1", more? Any thoughts or a standard for this?

For future reference, any angle other than 45° requires separate dims for length and angle.

saying that zero is OK. If you allow no
break on the edge, that is what you will get....

RE: When Is A Chamfer Not?
I disagree. By calling an edge break it has to be broken, and you are saying it can be no larger than a certain size. Not breaking it at all violates the instruction to break the edge.
