Good day.
I was looking for a way to do a chamfer with an endmill and found the chamfer gadget.
Upon trying it out it seems to do what I need but backwards...is there a way to reverse or flip the Chamfer? is there another version of this gadget?
Tnx!

Nice! Tnx

Vectric should make this standard in their software with spiral options.
So we are able to this in one shot with the same bit (endmill). a great time saver.

Send your recommendation to support@vectric.com. That adds it to their database of user-suggested improvements.Vectric should make this standard in their software with spiral options.

I'd expect the moulding toolpath to be able to do that in "one shot" but I'd have to explore it.

I managed to do it with the moulding toolpath...but it seems not an efficient way.. Since vcarve has everything already for chamfer.
I used this >
Thank you!

Re: Reverse Chamfer gadget
There would be little difference between the toolpaths created for a moulding toolpath and a chamfer toolpath when using an endmill. The most efficient way for a smooth chamfer is to do the tool change and use the correct tool IMO.
If it's a countersink for a machine screw then a stepped countersink is all that's really needed as is commonly done with an endmill when machining ali parts. Plenty of ways of doing that some of which I've posted in the past - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7158
