Model Chamfer

[Rich Bergstrom]

Question about the Model Chamfer Toolpath in Mastercam 2019.

I try to chamfer a model (.010 chamfer with a 1/4" chamfer tool) and the tool will not cut into the part. The tool tip stays at Z0. Is there a setting I'm missing? Did I select geometry correctly?

Usually when I have that problem is that I did not use a chamfer tool. You can not use a spot drill for this toolpath like you can in contour/chamfer. You can cheat and go to create chamfer tool and use a spot drill and put a very small tip diameter on it, like .005" and then it will work or modify an existing chamfer tool. You also start by selecting the solid model then choose the edge that you want to chamfer.
