Chamfer

A chamfer is a bevel or line that’s inserted between two lines to relieve sharp angles

or corners on a part.

You can insert a chamfer between two intersecting lines whose steps are adjacent in

the program step.

There are three ways you can program a chamfer:

• With two lengths

• With Length 1 and an angle

• With Length 2 and an angle

Choose a method based upon information from the print. As you are programming, keep

in mind that the angle is measured from the line along the X-axis and sweeps towards

the adjacent line. You may also close a contour with a chamfer (e.g., a triangle) by

inserting the chamfer step immediately after the last step in the contour.

o program a chamfer:

• From the PGM screen, locate the lines you want to insert a chamfer between.

Highlight the second line.

• Press the
