Hello, hope everyone is coping with the insanity that has become life.
I'm doing some machining of castings (engine parts for a custom race motorcycle) and am wondering if there is an easy way to automate the deburring/chamfering of the edge produced when facing a cast pad. The horizontal Z depth has just been machined and the vertical XY surface coordinates are the cast surface. This edge is not accurate so running a rigid chamfer tool along the CAD profile will end up with a very irregular chamfer.
Is there any clever way to do this? I'm thinking of a flexible chamfer chamfer tool shaft but have not seen anything similar.
