ASME Y14.5 - chamfers at degree other than 90
ASME Y14.5 - chamfers at degree other than 90
(OP)
Just to take a short break of radius considerations, I would like to propose chamfer considerations. Please take a look at fig. 1-44 of 1994 standard or 1-45 of 2009 version. Do you think that the method shown on sketches on the left (2 linear dimensions) is OK? I mean, does it fully dimension the chamfer?

It's not the typical way of doing it for most people, but it works and it's in the standard.

You meant Fig 1-46 in the 2009 standard, right?
Both chamfers are unambiguous.
The second chamfer with the dimension and angle is fairly easy to inspect if both dimensions are basic and you use a profile tolerance on the chamfer face. I actually specify stuff like this all the time, although, functionally, the feature never is a chamfer.
As the designer, I would have made the 2X60° chamfer perpendicular to one of the edges.

It would make me a lot happier if people would also keep it in mind when I post the odd sketch to try and show a point I'm making on this site.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your quick reaction.
