Draft Face should do it

[JDowe]

or extrude the shaft and put the chamfer on it

then extrude a hex and add it as a boss

[crazy^millman]

draw circle on one view. Draw hex and rotate 15 deg. Then extrude both and then boolean add or make it a boss them together.

 

HTH

First of all I thanks every body who replied

I just try to give 15 deg chmf at end of hex as if we use 15 deg chmf end mill to make hex. Draft solid face, I am trying to figuring out. If any can help?

Rakesh,

 

How about creating and edge curve along one flat, then in a front plane relative to your line draw your chamfer and then sweep cut it.

 

you can simply rotate your geometry to complete the other angles.

 

 

You also could draw your angle midplane and extrude cut in both direction "thru all"

[Rakesh]

To create curve, do I have to change solid to surface?

[Guest]

nope, create curve, one edge and pick the corner of the wall and the straight floor

Thanks John

I saw you use the extrude cut. Swept cut as I shown in image, Is this way not possible?

[Guest]

If you are only trying to do the flat areas a sweep is not necessary or needed.

 

If you are trying to create an angle on the entire thing, then I would say do the 15 angle first and then the flats. It really depends on what you're trying to get.

 

If what you want is what I did, then the extrude cut is probably the easiest way to get that result.

[Rakesh]

John,you are right for this part the angle endmill will not make the angle at round area as the angle gonna come only where it will cut hex.

thanks john for your time to help me out.

Rakesh,

 

I did this one to show how the Draft Face works. Same result as John's, just a different way to go about it.
