nx10 cam, radial chamfer, how?
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I would like to make an external radial chamfer on the edge of a part. So far I have been able to do an angular chamfer on the edge of a part with a planar profile operation and setting the tracking point accordingly with a chamfer tool.
How do I accomplish the same thing but with an external radius chamfer tool?
many thanks,
James

many thanks for the reply. Yes, corner rounding tool. I did think that might be the case but could not find how to add the library tool to my planar mill operation. Any examples of how to do this?
best regards and thanks!
cheers,

I found the corner rounding tools in the library. I will play with them now...
many thanks for the help!

If the corner is modeled sharp, select the edge and use the SHARP_CORNER tracking point as the drive point.
If the corner is modeled as a blend, select edges at the vertical tangent point, and use PILOT_DIA as the drive point.
You can also adjust using Z-Depth Offset and Part Stock.

thanks for the info. I will play with this. All the tracking point stuff is still a bit of a mystery for me. Do you know of any tutorials for this?
