    I, for one, being old, grumpy, and possessing all the other requisite qualifications since doing this from the ripe old age of 13.... have been enjoying your responses.

    I'm not the sharpest file in the drawer, and rather than ask or spend hours online hoping someone would do my homework for me, I sat down with pen and paper, and did simple graphic from which my calculations would evolve.

    I did a chamfer chart with different angles to derive the required depth for a specified diameter. Wow. Seemed like a daunting challenge at first, then I realized just how simple it was, and now it sits on a paper next to my computer so I don't have to figure it out each time I need to know -Z for a chamfer dia.

    Given this experience, I wouldn't answer this question either, rather, I'd have said the same thing. FIGURE IT OUT!

    That's what separates the machinists from the ape/handle pullers.

    Not by much.

    I'm with the chart idea. Drill a hole, zero your chamfer tool, then manually go down ..001", measure chamfer, go down .002" measure, etc...

    Now, where did I put my bananas?

    What happens when each of your chamfer tools, even duplicates of the same angle, have different dia flats on the ends??

    Me - I chamfer in XY direction by profiling the edge.
    Set my Z depth plenty deep enough to be cutting up the edge of the cutter.
    The CAM software interpolates the edge at zero.
    Set cutting stock to -((chamf dia - hole dia)/2)in profiling, alternatively done in the control with cutter comp as well.
    Simple enough that I can eat bananas at the same time as well

    A mathematician named hall,
    He had one hexagonal ball.
    The square root of his date was pianist plus 8,
    And five ninths of four fifths of fvck all.

    And that was workout out on a piece of graph paper at 10:1.
    Sharpen the pencil.

    Let me give you a real world example:

    At school my grades at math were around 6.8 (out of 7), trigonometry was a piece of cake and one of my favorite subjects. However, 12 years later I can't remember most (99%) of what I learned back then, both for lack of use and bad memory.

    Now, when I do need a formula or just want to remember how it was, it usually doesn't take me more than a couple of minutes to google it, I mean, come on!. Not only are them all available online, but there are also lots of task specific calculators, heck, even Google itself has one built-in.

    I think it might be a generational issue which is getting things out of hand. e.g. Most people who finished school before 2000 had a fair share of hand written essays made by hand with data collected from books, which usually took a few library trips and quite often a few extra steps to get that hard-to-come-by book which had the best information on the subject. Now there are even websites with full essays waiting for lazy guys to take them and show them as their own (and even worse, some won't even look at them, nor care if it's good or not). Some time ago a local congressman "wrote" a report which was found to be copy-pasted from Wikipedia!, and I'm sure it was not an isolated case. I'm not saying this kind of behavior didn't exist (sort of) before, but the misuse of technology sure isn't helping for the future.

    Internet is an UNBELIEVABLY large collection of knowledge, yet maybe 95% (I'm making this number out) use it primarily for Facebook, Twitter and looking at cats videos (don't get me wrong, I love cat videos) and don't realize the power of the tool they have access to. I mean, you can find almost anything you want to know!. Where did curiosity and the need for knowledge go?. Not that there was much of it before (proportionally speaking), but the way Internet reflects people's interests, priorities and ambitions leads to some disturbing sights and trends.

    I know I won't in a lifetime be able to catch up with the huge amount of interesting information that has been added to the net while I was typing this. This alone says a lot.

    I love to see 70+ year old people here on CNCZone sharing, teaching and learning instead of updating their Facebook/Twitter status so the world can know how many eggs they had for breakfast like people of all ages do these days. On the other side, I met a 70+ years old radio and TV repair guy who though LCD/LED TVs had a color wheel at the back. He repaired CRT sets for a living and didn't even care about the current technology related to his job (I'm talking year 2006 or so). His repair shop burned down a few years ago, haven't seen him since then.
