help drawing oval

[goooose]

i am machinig a tube on an angle, and want to deburr on the machine. not sure how to draw this to get the correct ovals (id and od). 1.969 OD 1.378 ID 37deg angle off face.

(the tube is held on an angle and then face milled)

 

it will be a long night deburring by hand

do you solids?

Can be done with surfaces. Draw the circle in one view that is the one piece of tubing. Then make a draft surface from that circle. Then draw the other circle at the intersection. Then rotate the 37 degrees. Then project the circle on to the surface suing project and the surface as what to project to and done. Solids would be easier doing a boolean remove function of one pipe to the other then putting curves on the edge, but surfaces will do it as well.

Send it to the ftp, I'll see if I can help.

Are you able to do this in Mill 1?

In the top cplane, draw the 1.378 dia tube in the vertical then draw the angle slice where it needs to be in the top plane.

 

Create an extruded surface on the tube (Create, surface, create extruded surface). Delete the "end cap" surfaces then use xform rotate to rotate it so that the slice is horizontal. (Front cplane). Your slice should now be horizontal.

 

Create, surface, trim surface, trim surfaces to a plane. Select the surfaces, then select the slice(horizontal line) as your plane. Disgard the upper portion of the tube if MC has not done so already.

 

Now, go to Create, create curve, create curve on one edge. Select the new surfaces to create the oval. Move all the other lines and surfaces to another level and check your oval for gaps. Create more curves if needed. Repeate for the tube OD.

WHOA. 3 guys in a row from michigan replied. Ya, we rock.

thanks for the responses guys. ive never worked with solids before, and had to get this machine moving. i ended up kinda doing what motorcity said. not sure how i did it, but the result was good enough!

 

i hate teaching myself. lol
