Solidworks conundrum

i_r_machinist · Aug 11, 2016

I have a 3"od pipe that has to be welded to a 4.75" od pipe. The 3" pipe needs a 37.5 degree chamfer on the face that meets the 4.75" pipe. I can produce the right radius in the face of the 3" pipe but the 37.5 degree chamfer is not right. I get this flat on the face. How do I drive this angle around the part?

thanks in advance

PS. Yes, I know I could hand grind it, but I learn little from a right angle grinder.

What is the OD/length? I was going to give it a shot here but figure those would be helpful

hello
you wont get rid of that flat without changing something
like a countersunk tube
to get min depth at shallowest
there is a way deep champher 180 degrees opposite
hope that made sense
have a good 1

Have you tried using the chamfer option on the edge you want? It should follow the curved profile no problem. If that doesn't work a swept profile with the edge as a guide curve should work without issues.

Using a 3D sketch, you can click on the curve and "convert entities" to create the path. Close that and open 2D sketch, draw your chamfer, then exit sketch. Use "swept cut" to create feature.
