Hi guys,
I want to program a back-chamfer to deburr this cross hole:
(I can't use a Burr-Away or similar because of the step.)
Does Mastercam have understanding of back-chamfer, or do I have to fake it? I tried choosing a dovetail cutter, but in Cut Parameters, Mastercam complains, "Warning - invalid tool type for chamfer. Use chamfer, spherical, or bull mill." Also tried creating a chamfer tool with negative angle, but that's not allowed either.
As this is a 3D chamfer with adjustments to the start and stop to not gouge the step, I'd really like to not hand-code it.
Thanks, and regards.
Mike
