Chamfer Mill Parameters

Introduction

This topic contains the operational parameters found in the Hole Wizard for the Chamfer Mill Operation.

Hole Groups - Important

When defining the parameters (the Parameters page of the wizard) for drilling operations, be sure to select a group in the Hole Groups list before changing the parameters. Then make sure to define the parameters for all groups in the feature. However, note that center drill and chamfer operations do not have a Hole Groups list as these operations automatically use the same parameters for all groups in the feature.

• Chamfer Length - enables the Length box to create the chamfer based on the length of the chamfered edge.
• • Length - sets the chamfer length along the chamfered edge.
