Use the 2D Contourstrategy with a chamfer mill to machine the chamfer along the outside edge.

1. On the ribbon, click CAM tab 2D Milling panel 2D Contour .

Tool tab

1. On the Tooltab, click the button to open the Tool Librarydialog box.

2. From the Sample Libraries > Tutoriallibrary, select tool #50 - 10 mm 45 chamfer.

3. Click to close the Tool Librarydialog.

Geometry tab

Since the chamfer already exists as a model feature, there are two edges from which to choose for the geometry - one at the top of the chamferand one at the bottom. Inventor HSM allows either to be used, but in most cases choosing the bottom edge allows for the easiest setting ofparameters. However, in both cases Inventor HSM automatically calculates the correct horizontal offset, and only the additional vertical tipoffset needs to be specified

1. Click the Geometrytab and select the edge at the bottom of the chamfer as the contour selection.

Passes tab

When a chamfer mill is selected as the tool, the Chamferoption is automatically enabled and displays the Chamfer widthand Chamfer tipoffsetchamfering parameters.

Since an edge on the actual chamfer feature in the model was selected, it is not necessary to set the Chamfer width. But to ensure that thetool tip is not coincident with the lower edge of the chamfer, the Chamfer tip offsetmust be specified.

1. Click the Passestab.

2. Set the Chamfer tip offset:to: 0.25 mm

Start the Calculation

1. Click at the bottom of the Operationdialog box, or right-click in the graphics window and select OKfrom the marking menu,to automatically start calculating the toolpath.

The toolpath should appear as shown in the following image:
