I have been setting the machine at an x distance from the center of the hole which I have determined for my tool path, Then I take chamfering tool down by hand and touch it off on the hole edge, set z-zero. But it is hard to see when you have touched off. |
I program for Z0 and manually set chamfers at the machine.
For your .032 to .035 chamfer how about setting it / checking it with gage pins.
