Chamfer call out
Chamfer call out
(OP)
When using a leader to call out a chamfer (ie. .040 x 30) to my knowledge the .040 be the depth into the material and the 30 degrees is the angle from the centerline. Is this correct or do I have it backwards?

But, if it's a 45 deg chamf, then the callout is OK. Otherwise, I suggest dim the angle and depth.

RE: Chamfer call out
"Chamfers of 45deg can be dimensioned by note. All other chamfers angles must be dimensioned in one of two ways. One way is to show the angle of inclination and the length of one side of the chamfer. The other way is to show the length of both sides of the chamfer.
A note can be used for 45deg chamfers since both sides of a 45deg triangle are equal in length. The sides of any other angle are unequal and therefore can't be specified by a note. A note can't specify which side of the angle is being given. The only way to be certain of control over chamfers other than 45deg is to apply the chamfer dimesions to the part."
Again, I don't have the exact standard referance but maybe someone else can find it for you.
