NX9.0 chamfer tool issues

NX9.0 chamfer tool issues

NX9.0 chamfer tool issues

(OP)
I have tried and tried to use a flat nose chamfer tool such as a Tungaloy 45 degree Jetmill (ECC31005ru-45) and even a simple 6-flute Iscar carbide chamfer tool. I would use them for chamfering edges or even as simple as chamfering a hole to be tapped. I set the tool parameters in "Create Tool" and the software will not allow me to use a flat nose tool for anything! I'm not buying new tooling just because the software is too stupid to figure it out!!

RE: NX9.0 chamfer tool issues

When creating the tool set the Type to Hole Making and you can choose a Chamfer Mill.

The Chamfer Mill did not show in hole making, just milling groups. It still won't let me countersink. Even if I create a countersink, such as a Weldon CS36, it still won't let me use a flat nose tool for countersinking.

RE: NX9.0 chamfer tool issues

Can you please explain more what the issues are? With the tool definition or the operation?

For the tools...
For countersinking, create a hole_making > countersink tool as shown in the attachment.
For milling, create a chamfer_mill tool like John said.

RE: NX9.0 chamfer tool issues

You used the core drill, which has the same shape as a chamfer mill or countersink, so that should work.
