    Solidcam / Inventorcam 4th axis chamfer?

    Does anyone know how to make a tool path to make these chamfers highlighted in blue on the image that I attached? I have got all the machining down perfect except for these chamfers. I have a 4th axis that is parallel to the X-axis and will do both indexable and simultaneous.

    Thanks

    Do you have 5X or HSS in SolidCAM? If so, that would be my weapon of choice. If not, then a very small spotdrill and the 4X 'WRAP' strategy but it will not go right into the sharp corners
