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 your print.

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.

To program a chamfer:

From the PGM screen, locate the lines you want to insert a chamfer between.
Highlight the second line.
